	Grammar Geek  #525371  Tue, 10 Jun 08 01:40 PM Jim, are you sure? I added the "no" but even IMDB, my favorite source for authentic movie information says: Prissy: Lawzy, we got to have a doctor. I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies.    Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member (16,067) Barbara, who answers in American English.

	CalifJim  #525584  Tue, 10 Jun 08 10:41 PM Grammar Geek Jim, are you sure? I WAS.  But I cave in easily to challenges so until I hear it myself in the movie again (years from now) I'll suspend judgment.  CJ     CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member (17,695) "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche

	Philip  #525880  Wed, 11 Jun 08 03:28 PM Ahem...back to the original question. Something came to mind when I woke up at 2:00 this morning.  When not knowing exactly what to do in a situation, we sometimes say that we are "like a fish out of water".  Does this come close?    Philip Joined on Thu, Jun 23 2005 USA Pacific Northwest (Seattle) Veteran Member (6,320) At reise er at leve! - H.

	Pucca  #525982  Wed, 11 Jun 08 07:06 PM  Wow Philip! Are you like Dr House?  He always dreams about something and when he wakes up, he comes up with an answer!   (I adore him, by the way!)   "I haven't got the foggiest idea"? Is it used?    Pucca

	Grammar Geek  #525993  Wed, 11 Jun 08 07:29 PM Yes, it is. Often as "I haven't got the foggiest" (with the "idea" part understood).    Grammar Geek
