What is a cotton picking minute?
« on: September 02, 2016, 04:12:11 pm »
 Have never been to New York so maybe folks here who have can tell me - What is the difference in a cotton picking minute and a New York minute?

A New York minute is about 10 seconds at most and probably less.  A "cotton pick'n minute" is exactly the same as a "G** d***" minute or a "gosh darn" minute" or a "freaking minute" or "a minute".  It's 60 seconds.

Makes a good bit of sense, have learned that a New York minute is over fast, quick and in a hurry and a cotton pickin' minute is much longer.  Since I have picked a bit of cotton I understand because a couple of the longest day in my life were mid-September in south Alabama picking cotton.  :cry:

OTH, a California minute is anywhere between "stylishly late" to "Hey, why is everyone leaving already? I just got here!"
Winter is coming.

I can't say I hate the government, but I am proudly distrustful of them.
