Dirty Third of a Dozen

Used to describe a group of 4 troublemaking guys. First used on Main Street in front of Noel's Jewlery, St. Charles MO in 1998 as a potential name for the shortest lived (3hrs) 4 man gang.

dime a dozen

Severely misinterpreted exopression... the original was derived from an unfortunate situation in the 1920's, when a tired shop-keeper decided to take a nap while standing behind the counter. A customer came over to him, asking the price of the bisquits...when the shop-keeper wouldn't repond, the man nudged him, and the poor sleepy man mumbled "I'm-a-dozing". Unfortunately the customer heard "dime a dozen" and the shop-keeper lost some goos bisquits that day...mm...bisquits.
