(“Pharaoh said, »Well, stone the crows, this Joseph is a clever kid / Who'd have thought that 14 cows could mean the things he said they did«”.) | |

| Aug 21, 2012 at 19:17 | comment | added | Tess | I've never heard it used in America (or in any American literature for that matter, in which I'm reasonably well-read). The only place I've encountered it is in an Australian novel written in the 1970s but set in 1900. | |
