Inside where? I see no saying.
@gailcalled I think OP means “seems very romantic” is the saying. I think.
Is that a saying, or a phrase that is meaningless unless it is connected to something that makes it a sentence?
Here it is!
“She gives me the Honey Glows something awful.”
I can’t recall ever hearing it. May have been a regional saying.
“She gives me the Honey Glows something awful”? Where did you hear that? It makes no sense to me.
@gailcalled This character from a Disney movie called “Wreck it Ralph” the character who said it is from an old school arcade game and he tends to speak the equivalent of Audrey Hepburn spoke in movies. I don’t know.
I never heard it before today.
Audrey Hepburn spoke in an elegant and correct accent with no rural idioms that I can ever remember.
Ah there you go, might be southern. He does say, “Dynamite gal” a lot within the movie.
I never heard or saw it either, not in the world and not in movies or books.
I have never heard this, and I am fairly familiar with the idioms used in 1950s Hollywood movies. Lmao. Audrey Hepburn did not, as far as I know, play any Southern characters.
I never heard it, but I have seen honey taken from a hive near a uranium mine, glow a little bit.
I grew up in the 1950’s and I never heard it.
I’ve never heard it but it doesn’t sound very romantic to me.
Never heard it but I like it.
Maybe what a boy lightning bug or bee says to his bugfriend.
Winnie the Pooh school of romance?
Perhaps it’s an inside reference to the arcade game world from which the character hails.
“Honey glows”... never heard of it either, but also like the sound of it. Sounds kinda Southern-based to me quoth the untraveled West Coast native :D
Sweet and turned on = honey glow
