As busy as Carrie Pratt on Saturday night

A colloqial expression from the Springfield Massachusetts area, one would use this to indicate being busy. In the 1890s, Carrie Pratt ran a brothel, and Saturday nights were busy, apparently.

I have been doing so many errands today, I feel as busy as Carrie Pratt on Saturday night.
