Anyone else recall the phrase

"Sayin' A Taste"?

Man, that chick is sayin' a taste!


To go one up, you might reply

Shit! She's sayin' a two taste!


Popular in the Army, and in the inner city of Providence from my
recollections. I used to shine shoes and would hear this quite a bit when I
shined in bars.

My hunch is that this phrase had its birth in jazz circles, be bop, or the
Beatnik culture.
