All up in one's kool-aid

[FlightlessDuck]

OK, I'm bored. I'm eating lunch and listening to This American Life when this phrase came up.

"So-and-so is all up in my kool-aid and doesn't even know the flavor."

I love this phrase. It's ridiculous.

Have you heard this before? If not, can you guess what it means?

Yes, I've heard it. Its pretty old, but I admit to loving it too.

Ok, I admit, I like that one

I have always heard it as "drinking the kool-aid." As in you really like something or really buy into something (ex. we drink the Disney kool-aid).

"All up in my kool-aid" is different; it refers to being a busybody.

As for "drinking the Kool-Aid", the actual drink used in Jonestown was Flavor Aid. 909 people died from drinking the poisoned concoction, including 294 children. That doesn't count the 5 people that were shot at an airstrip nearby, including Congressman Leo Ryan.

Thanks. I knew there was a real origin to the saying but didn't know the details of where it came from.

Knowing that now, I much prefer the busybody version

The thread title is awesome.

It's the dignified version

Those memes where they take current sayings and put them onto old time photos and language makes me laugh. There has to be one for this. Has to be.

ETA: Found it

That is why I hate the phrase "drinking the kool aid". It waaaaay trivializes a horrific event. Same goes for those Titanic kiddy inflatable slides at carnivals. How long will it be before we see a World Trade Center bungee jumping inflatable???

Sorry for the rant!!!!

To the OP, never heard the phrase you mentioned, but it's hilarious!

#2 just might have to make its way into my vocabulary! Love it!

I've heard 1 and 3 before - and not on the DIS believe it or not.

Never heard #2. Going to start using that one.
