Ate and Left No Crumbs

I just came across this expression in social media.

If somebody does something really well, you say they ate and left no crumbs.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

I think that came up on the American Dialect Society’s Worthy Year nominations, either last year or the year before.

Yeah, it’s a great one.

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember we had that conversation with the woman who did hairstyles for theatrical productions.

Remember the woman from Maine?

Oh, yeah.

And she was talking about how that haircut really ate.

Yeah, so it’s connected maybe.

Oh, I love it.

Yeah, yeah.

It’s even more intense.

That person gave a speech sheet, ate and left no crumbs.

It was a whole meal.

Yeah, exactly.
