He "runs" the second leg of the race-backwards-while-sitting-on-your-rear-end race -- or, as the kids call it, the hiney hop ...     HI, Does "gets less of a chance" in the above mean "gets less than a chance" or something else? Thanks.   P.S. Is "hiney hop" in the above equal to "honey hop?" Thanks.   Angliholic Joined on Wed, Feb 14 2007 SomewhereinFormosa Veteran Member 6,474 Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

"hop" would then have the usual meaning. Mr Wordy Joined on Tue, May 27 2008 Senior Member 2,359 Native British English speaker

You can put honey in your tea, but finding a hiney in your tea would be most disturbing!  CJ CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,399 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche
