: : My coworker used this expression today. She's a Kentucky woman in her early 60s. She was saying in reference to another coworker who has been very busy:

: : "They've run her hell west to Crocket." I immediately grabbed my pencil and wrote it down. She doesn't know what "Crocket" refers to.

: : Anyone heard this one?

: : Perhaps it refers to Davy Crockett and his fellow Kentuckians who traveled west to Texas and died at the Alamo???

That's a thought.
