Are you gettin' what I'm givin'?
There are very few universal terms in language today. If I said, that's the shit in Saudi Arabia, I may have my tongue cut out for using fowl language, or somebody would bring me a bowl of donkey manure. If I said, that's fly in Russia, somebody would start swatting the air for bugs. I have a special place in my heart though for a special phrase that I'd like to think is universal. That phrase is—she could get it. You know, when you're walking down the street on the way to lunch and a pretty girl walks by. You tap your buddy on the shoulder and say, "She could get it." I said it just yesterday, as did probably half on the men on the planet. Nothing more needs to be said. You don't need to describe what IT is. And you'll probably never see the girl again, much less talk to her, but it gets the point across in very few words. I could be wrong. Maybe they don't 'say she could get it' in Sweden, but I'd like to think that they do.
