Yup. I have only heard it here in Maine and not since I was little (32 here)

I suppose it could have French/ Canadian origins, but they were never acknowledged, not that I was aware of anyway.

Lol that one stuck around for a while. It's just an onomonopia that denotes someone would get in trouble for something they just did. Like "ooo, you're gonna get it", I grew up with Florida cousins that said "ooo wubbie wubbie" instead lol 😆

Colloquialisms are great! Thanks for the nostalgia

I too contemplated our financial situation as I was squeezing too much shampoo in my hand. Was 5 dollar bottle 5 years ago. 10.95 I paid with a "sale" sticker...
