Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for October 18, 2011

Seriously? ( “?” ) Well, in case you are, it’s “opening a can of whoop-a$$”.

love the team name

aw! what fun are you?

Well, whoop de doo.

The counselor must have money on the other team…

It’s time to chew gum or kick butt, and we’re all out of gum.

i opened up a can of whoop a$$ the other day…and it jumped out of the can and whooped my a$$

To those non-USA speakers of English (for we have to remember not everyone in the world knows American idiom) -

If you haven’t figured it out by now, saying that you’ll “open a can of whoop-a$$” is an even more colloquial way of saying you’re going to “kick some butt” ie, beat or overpower someone, or, in this case, win the game.

It’s a bit crude. You don’t say it in polite company (though a sportscaster might use it jokingly on television,) which is why the coach doesn’t like little girls to say it.

Have you ever wondered what was inside a can of whoop-a$$ before it was opened?.
