New England slang. This is a very popular phrase, thought to have originated in
Reinhart, Mass. where it is an integral part of the local dialect ("
Reinerwaffle", as the denizens like to refer to it). It can be freely substituted into a variety of sentences and expressions, indeed the usage is so prevalent in some areas that it can become near impossible for outsiders to follow the conversation, and many humourous misunderstandings can ensue!
