Maggie's Drawers

[Zombie Steve]

I knew what it meant, but never knew where that came from...

Fun, quick read.

Ha! Pretty funny....

"When she stooped to fix her shoe
You could see her ring-dang-doo
Those old red flannel drawers that Maggie wore."

Next time I see a flag waving on the range I'll be thinking of Maggie's promised place....

Thanks, that was a great bit of trivia.

Now I have a song stuck in my head.

Good read.

I've never heard that term before.

I've heard shooters described as Maggie's drawers... always just thought it meant they were a bad shot. Then I learned about the red flag meaning a single missed shot. It was interesting to me to hear the term's etymology.
