Georganna Hancock said...: Condensation of English words and terminology continues. I remember when it took three words to make a saying "dirty". Which three? Ones that Homer Simpson would like -- "with no pants".; 9:42 AM

Georganna Hancock said...: I first heard it as the tag to each line of:

"I'm the sheik of Araby, ***
And your love belongs to me, ***
At night when you're asleep, ***
Into your tent I'll creep, ***
I'll whisper I love you ***
And steal a kiss or two ***
You'll rule the world with me ***
For I'm the sheik of Araby! (***)"

Well, you had to be there, I guess, a gasping 14-year-old among a bunch of drunk grownups, in a lounge late at night in the early 1950's.; 12:47 PM
