She lost her clout. Turns out she left it in the fridge.
I had a roommate in college who used to put things in the fridge absentmindedly, such as his keys or wallet, then panic when he couldn’t find them. They’re in the fridge, Donnie. They’re always in the fridge.
I think Andrew Millar’s got it, with a shout out to his old roommate, Donnie. I usually respond “They’re in the last place you’ll look”, which is both irritating and unhelpful.
(Off-topic?) Aha! I think I’ve (finally) figured out what the little “7 glowing ashes” underneath the big-type blog title on the left means. It means “September”!
So now, guys(?), do you want to rollover that odometer? Welcome to the octagon territory?
Back when I used to travel for work, I’d often have some minor food that I’d put in the hotel room fridge. And then forget.
I adopted the habit of putting the rental car keys in there with it: that way I couldn’t get far! And I told my family, “If they find my body in a hotel room, tell Hertz the keys are in the fridge.”
They didn’t think that was as funny as I did, for some reason.
Chak (7): Back in the Stone Age, when I was a kid, we would say something was “as cold as a witch’s t1t in a brass bra.” There were times when we wanted to climb into a freezer to warm up.
I don’t get what a “clout” is in this context. Clout as in influential power? Clout as in hitting someone in the head?
There’s also ““Ne’er cast a clout till May is out”, which apparently refers to not discarding any warm winter clothing until the hawthorn tree is in blossom, that blossom being called “may”.

Someday I’ll tell you all about the time I found my bra in the freezer.
Or maybe I won’t. Menofog produces lots of good stories, but only for select audiences.

narmitage (12): Influence. “Clout” as a punch is pretty well an obsolete usage. Its meaning as clothing is completely archaic.

Clout can also be a piece of fabric (especially a diaper) or to hit someone/something.
Help anyone to figure it out?
