logical thought,buckytom, but the imam fainted,as legend has it, because of how expensive it was because of all the oil that's used in the recipe.

Most diner slang in the U.S. was coined in the 1920's and 1930's when diners as restaurants flourished.
Skinheads are a phenomenon of the 1970's and 1980's during which diners have waned. It may be a regional slang phrase.

It's actually made from a certain type birds nest that only come from certain regions in Asia (cave dwelling swifts/swiftlets create the nests from their saliva)! There was a whole show about this one night.

Where in the world do you find this stuff??? Only a wandering Tomcat could have found the Ukraine from KentuckyNo wonder you were gone so long!! If you had caught a flight from the Ukraine shivering in the wheel assembly of a Fokker or a Yak you would have arrived in Astana, Kazakhstan 4 hours later. So, no, we're not that far away.
I tried to take that flight but the Fokker wouldn't let me board!
