Compliment or kick in the rear?

Posted byDan Alatorre AUTHORPosted inUncategorized

As further  proof that Americans and Canadians are two people separated by a common language, I offer this, in the season of Christmas.


Jenny, a Canadian, and I, a ‘Merican, were having a conversation in which she proffered that (above) alleged compliment.


So I will put it to you.
I’m not sure I regard any reference to myself and the rectal area of an animal as being high praise, but I could be wrong.


Thoughts?
Is Jenny trying to pull a fast one at Christmas via channeling an angry Tom Jones from the 1960s. “That cat’s an ass.”?


Or is this really a compliment?
I’m not sure I’m buying it either way but let’s see what you had to say on the matter.

                    1. It is pretty tame. But so close to Christmas I worry that Jesus might be watching – he could tell Santa about my naughtiness and I will be left with nothing but a lump of coal and a satsuma in my stocking!

    1. I have heard of the cats pajamas. I think I saw it when they first started changing movies from black-and-white to color, or no wait maybe it was when they first added sound to them. So how far back are we going for these references?

      I trust you though Lucy. You won’t steer me wrong, I’m sure.
