    Default Maggie's Drawers

    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.

    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.
