I was stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force in the 80's where one of the more colorful workers named Marv used to say 'I've been beaten like a red-headed stepchild. Marv came from the northen alabama area and it was a popular saying in his day. I got to saying that every once a while.
Fast forward to today. I was at wargaming tourney at Ft. Knox and getting my glutinues maximus handed to me. I said said "I am being beaten like a red headed stepchild". Everyone looked at me funny. Turns out they never heard of that saying. And this is the south. What ever happened to those good ole collequiallism's?
