LickitySplit??? Where the hell did that phrase come from?

[Sparky Kronkite]

Kinda sexy considering it's probably ancient in origin.

Sound Irish or English - don't know though.

Do Irish give head?

Reminds me a joke my mother told me when I was younger:

Question: If a car load of gays (Forgive me if terms offend anyone) and a car load of lesbos were to race, which car would get there faster?

Answer: The Lesbos go lickity split while the gays just poke around.

shrugs

Actually its Italian

Guiseppe Verde Mascarpone was conversing with his pal Gino Mortadello one day. Gino was bemoaning his inabillity to satisfy his wife.

Guiseppe, a noted cunnilinguist and motivational speaker told him.... "Is simple Gino, and very quick, you licka de split and she be happy"

Actually its not at all that ancient. It dates bates to early just this century during the war time. Most people are familar with the chinese girls going around and saying "Me Fucky, Sucky you real good GI"

Well in time when the chinese men met our beautiful tall sexy women they adopted the line "Me Lickey Splitey you americana women really good"

If anyone here would know the true origin of this phrase - it would be Purple Haze.

It's kind of interesting, I opened this thread for a daily dose of Sparky and I find myself overwhelmed by a picture. Call me a bitch or an apologist, but LL, your pic thing is just obnoxious, particularly coupled with your title. I find the pic is irritating. Not just because it makes my little 56k laptop move slower, but it takes up the screen. Hell, even Sparky's normal oomph was de-oomphed by it. Must you?

I'm not overly sensitive about my heritage, Todd, but I find this mildly offensive.
