"What's the giddas?"

Posted by Lee Gilchrist on October 26, 2001

When I was growing up in Des Moines, this was a popular phrase among us kids. It something you say when you join a group of people and want to know what going on and that you want to get in on it. I have no idea of the spelling. I have never heard this anywhere since.
Some of us, my self included, also put that extra "r" in words like warshing machine and George Warshington. What's up with that?
