Hang a Roscoe

created by Capn

(idea) by Capn (2.3 y) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Tue Aug 13 2002 at 17:10:04

Outdated American slang for "turn right" as in "Take main street until you get outta town, then hang a roscoe at the first service station". Compare: Hang a Louie

I know, this node could use some more info on the origin of the phrase, the time it came in to and fell out of use, etc. If you knew this stuff, you could /msg me and I would add it
