I have never heard that expression before, but now I know what it means.

To answer your question...No.

I do however wish there was a translation to today's teen conversation and slang.

I actually caught myself yesterday before I said to a colleague standing in the middle of an aisle of the office --- "you make a better door than a window".

Phone dial?

Service station?

Give me some time -- I'm sure I  have lots more.
