"I could ask Squire for some.”
“Without Captain knowing?”
“I'm sure I could.”
“Blow me down, so ye could.“
Captain Flint in the movie “Treasure island”, UK/USA 1950
A nifty phrase you can drop in the workplace that is sure to offend the ultratight-ass crowd who have difficulty with crude references to body parts or sex.
Why of course it was entirely impulsive, inappropriate and sadly unprofessional for me to state, “well they can blow me like a trumpet!” - I should have better assessed my audience!
"Blow me up Tom" is the official exit of callers on the Tom Leykis show, a syndicated national radio program that airs in the afternoon/evening. The request is followed by an explosion sound and then the call is terminated.
