can someone explain: fire dem a mus mus tail him tink a cool breeze?
is this like saying someone is thick headed or too stupid to notice something even if it smacks them in the face? |
It means that his tail would be on fire but im no notice till it almost burn off!
(a mus mus is a mangoose and they are said not not have feelings in dem tail)
So..to sum it up.......is like he (the person the quote is referring too)... is sinking into a hole and is only when it too late that he realises.........no forward thinking!
