redgreenbluegil Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 In Baa, Baa White Sheep (season 3, I think) Cooter is at his garage on his tow truck's CB telling Luke and Daisy about Boss Hogg changing into the black suit in the scheme to trick the judge. Cooter said that Boss was changing "Quicker than a mineral swimmin' nickel dipper." At least this is what I think he said, even after "rewinding" several times. Cooter sorta mumbled his way through this one. I love all of the odd phrases in the show, but this one has me stumped. Is Cooter really saying "Quicker than a mineral swimmin' nickel dipper" and what in the world does it mean? Or is Cooter saying something else?

Minnow = small fish. I assume nickel dipper refers to something like a small cup with a handle and it's made outta nickel. Obviously, a minnow could swim a complete circle in one of those real quick!

RogerDuke Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 You are awesome Meadowmuffin. I guess that's why you are the Supreme Superior Commander. That's one of my favorite episodes because of Abraham Lincoln Hogg. He reminds me so much of Enos on that show because he is so genuinely good. Now, I have to go watch it just for that one part. By the way, how are you at interpreting some of Flash's barks? Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her retriever accent confuses me sometimes. LOL.I think they should've brought Abraham Lincoln Hogg back in another episode or two. Oh well, that's what fanfic is for, right? LOL.

Lancashire_Lost_Sheep Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 You got me intrigued on this, so had to see what google turned up. What I found was a link to oral history recordings at Emporia State Uni and this quoteYou know, we were very poor when I was growing up, but I didn't know it. I knew it was a real treat to get a nickel to buy an ice cream cone when you could, but an ice cream cone - a big one for a nickel, a double dipper was 10 centsLooks like it's an ice cream scoop then.

Meadowmufn Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 It's true that ice cream scoops were also called "dippers", but as far as I can tell, the shape wouldn't hold water well enough, nor were they big enough for a minnow to swim in it. I think my explanation was a little more on target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire_Lost_Sheep Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I was just thinking that there Minnow might be quick about swimming in an ice cream scoop because it couldn't manage to stay in the thing for very long:D I'll just head off to that tree over there, can't remember barking at that one yet:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
