Explanation:

Era usato molto nei Texas Hillbillies, un sitcom americano quando ero bambina (si, si, sono stata bambina).

Mannaggia - non erano i Texas Hillbillies ... erano i \"Beverley Hillbillies\" - la vecchiaia mi tradisce... dag nab it .... ma il vero eroe in tal senso era Deputy Dawg, che diceva al suo compare, Musky ... \"DAG NAB IT MUSKY\"
