(BVD was a brand of underwear.)<br />As for Cindy Adams: She has ALWAYS been mean. Snarky, nasty, snotty. She toned down for a time, early in her NYP tenure - twas clear she'd been given marching orders. Too big and abrupt a change. It made her more readable, and I began to enjoy her columns. <br />Looks like she's back to her old tricks. <br />As of 20 years ago, she was also face-lifted to within an inch of her life. I had run into her on the UES - helped her pick up a bunch of papers she'd dropped. Didn't realize it was her initially, till I got a good look at her face close up. eeeee! (She was also quite rude toward me for helping her, but that's another story.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465072391199760560.post-7932384456732011842012-05-05T15:57:28.695-05:002012-05-05T15:57:28.695-05:00The UK expression ......which I hate..... is, &quo...The UK expression ......which I hate..... is, "Don't get your knickers (underwear) into a knot"peggy dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10048114238281081084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465072391199760560.post-82390665726512392692012-05-01T08:50:23.444-05:002012-05-01T08:50:23.444-05:00Perdie, don't get your BeeDees in a knot... so...Perdie, don't get your BeeDees in a knot... sometimes truth is stanger than fiction.

Accord...Perdie, you might find this interesting...<br /><br />According to Urban Dictionary, the original expression was "got my BDS in a knot" but you know what happens to these things over time. This later became shortened to "got my 'BeeDees' in a knot" but then "BeeDees" utimately amorphed into "Bungies" when "the street" got ahold of the expression, mostly since no one on the street knew what the heck BeeDees were. <br /><br />Kabish?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465072391199760560.post-9819696817651698242012-04-30T22:37:54.072-05:002012-04-30T22:37:54.072-05:00Where are you getting all those bungies?
