Edna-isms, Part Fifteen

1.  "Crackin' headache."  It was never a "bad" headache or a migraine--it was always, "I have a crackin' headache."
2.  "Go roundy, roundy."  This meant to go around in circles and was more often said to a child.
3.  "Blankety blank."  This is a common phrase and not Mom's invention.  Mom would use it to imply she was leaving out a swear word but was usually said with humor rather than anger.
