old timers: my mom just told me someone can "spit nickels" after telling me a story about being mad at someone for doing something she didnt agree with

upon googling "spit nickels" it is in reference to "doing something believed to be impossible"

my question to you....have you heard or used this phrase in either way?
- YuenglingJagr

I'll take you to a place I know, and they'll do it for you if you want. Bring cash. And of course a lot of nickels.

Shame about Hischier not being AHL eligible, but not the end of the world. Can't wait to see which kid we end up with!

I think the Devils like most teams will want the guy ready to play yesterday. If Hischier can't play in the NHL or AHL right now, I think the Devils will take the guy ready right now.

That phrase was old when my grandparents were young, and I'm 51

This is the Devil's though. They often don't make a lot of sense.

Well thanks for the whole "old timers" thing. I will fess up to knowing the term "mad enough to spit nickles". I think it has since been replaced by the more direct and ever popular (frank) you.
Oh, and I should just kick your butt for the old timers reference. Just you see if I don't.

Do we get a replay of the Provorov draft where Hextall looks like he wants to sprint to the stage and make his pick?

I couldn't believe that they took Zacha over Provorov.

After that I won't be shocked if they take Nico over Nolan.

I'm 61 so I guess I qualify. I'm disabled and in general f..d up, lives in Naples and still look around and think, "look at those old bastards". I guess it is a state of mind. Even if that state is confusion.

Yeah, little bit of heaven. I'm about 15 minutes from the beach.
87 and clear today. Nice day for the deck.

I love sitting on their lanai overlooking the gulf. Pure bliss with a cold adult beverage in your hand.

Their fans seem to think that these top 6 combinations would work best going forward.

In Florida, 61 is adolescence

My parents did as in "He made me so mad I could spit nickels!" Never used it myself but I'm only 52.

Best sunsets this side of Key West.
BiggE can vouch for those.
I don't go to the beach enough. Not many bad days here.
