IDIOM: A MANNER OF SPEAKING THAT IS NATURAL TO NATIVE SPEAKERS OF A LANGUAGE.
Since Marie, my so-called 'mom', is not a native speaker, the idiom above is mutilated by her native brain. Although, after much thought I think it has a little more 'oomph' when you substitute 'shovel' for shove. It instantly becomes grueling, arduous, blister inducing, sun baking your brains type thingy. It makes sense.
I am giving you this bit of propaganda because a funny thing happened at the office the other night..... Now, this is just hersay, but the police report reads that someone that I know (that may or may not have hired me) got arrested for assaulting one of his/her employee's. No, unfortunately it wasn't me. Oh, how I wish it was! I couldn't make this S*%@ up! I am supposed to be promoting this company yo. So, I had to take a couple days out from the blahg to wrap my brain around the situation. I called Marie and gave her the play y play.
MARIE: "Oh, eeef I wuz dehr I swear I would 'ave seen joo geet hurt too!"
translation: If I was there, I would have figured out a way to include you in the law suit that I am planning in my head because I watch too much television and am dying to get on the horn with Gloria Allred.
MISS B: "Wha?"
MARIE: "Joo know wheen poosh comz to shovel..."
MISS B: " Yeah, you can say that again"
