Ally McBeal/the phrase "youstinka"
Expert: merrystar - 5/8/2008
QuestionWhat means this? A old woman in the end of TV show over a chair.
I read she is the grandmother of David, but why that phrase?
Thanks.
AnswerHi,
The phrase was one of David Kelley's grandmother's favorite phrases apparently. I found this in an FAQ:
"According to an article published in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the woman is David E. Kelley's grandmother Mildred, 97, and she's saying "You stinker!" It was one of her favorite phrases. Kelley lived with Mildred while he attended law school, and he remains close to her." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune, December 16, 1998
hope that helps.
cheers,
