That's interesting. I wonder if the Yiddish construction evolved from the idea of knowing something from something (shit from Shinola, hawk from a handsaw).
eta: No, Sail's explanation makes more sense.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Am I to understand that a certain Erin person has shown up and copped an attitude re: our relative porntasticness?
Dude, I SO brought it...

Growing up, I heard "shit from Shinola" in Connecticut all the time.

I got a "401 to 500 You are a major league kinkster!"
I'm modestly happy, but bummed that ND brought me low.
On the other hand, LEATHER KILT.
But I haven't done anything naughty in a while. Oh, I kissed my girl friend while she was wasted so that I could grope her and steal her car keys but that was altruism, not porn.
I start teaching tomorrow! I;m so wired. I just popped an Ambien, so hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My classes start tomorrow. The first class I'm teaching is on Friday.
I am so not ready for this semester to start.

Clearly in a stage of weeping remorse.

Which is as it should be.
Here, have a compensatory feather butt plug. It's ostrich!
Hmm. I wonder if they have Swiffer plugs. That appeals to the Virgo AND Leo in me.
