Sarah in Fairbanks, Alaska, has a term to add to our discussion about colloquial terms for traveling on foot, like shank’s mare, chevrolegs, and getting a ride with Pat and Charlie: taking the shoelace express. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Shoelace Express”
We talked on an earlier show about slang terms for walking someplace, rather than taking a car or a bus.
Like shank’s mare and Chevro legs and things, Pat and Charlie.
Yes, yes, yes. I’ll get there on Pat and Charlie meaning your legs.
Right.
And we heard from Sarah Widener in Fairbanks, Alaska, who said she’s heard the young people using the expression shoelace express, which I really like.
I like that too, yeah.
Yeah, it’s always a good alternative.
Yeah.
