- ----------------------------Original message----------------------------
- I've become stymied in my search for origins of nonsense phrases (not
- surprisingly) and wonder if someone on the list might help. What is the
- comic strip where the phrase "Nov schmav ka pop" originated, and what if
- anything did it mean? Tracking down "Notary Sojac" was simple, by
- comparison!
- K-thanks,
