Meaning of "stub your toe" (apply too much cologne to oneself)?
I heard an older person say "Pheew! What did you do -- stub your toe?" The implied meaning was that when I put on cologne, I must have stubbed my toe. This caused me to pour an exorbitant amount on myself, thus causing a strong odor of cologne.
Has anyone out there ever heard of this phrase and that definition of it?
Ah yah.
Thank you.
My dad used to use that term to mean "to use too much" like, when some dish is too salty, he'd say "Wow - that's salty!! Looks like you stubbed your toe there."
