Not familiar with that phrase.

It means she can't keep her mouth shut even when she should.

Mouthing off, loud, uncouth, offensive, lacking in social decorum.

Like gabby?

P.S. Have you tried grilled cheese yet? If not, I'm going to have to find you one in Atlanta!

No, gabby just means you talk a lot, gobby, gob off, means you're offensive and often agressive for the sake of it.

And not yet.

Okay, I see the difference.

My mother is gabby. My dad is gobby.

Got it.

Do you have Campbells tomato soup? Because I highly recommend you try that with the grilled cheese. Make it with milk and don't forget to slice your grilled cheese into triangles and then you dip it in the soup and it is a very tasty, very American meal. Also, crumbling saltine crackers in your soup!

isn't grilled cheese just cheese on toast? (cheese, laid on bread, which has been toasted, and grilled till its melted and bubbly?

thats also extremely good with tomatoy stuff, but i prefer ketchup for the sharper tangy taste...

(y'see, when it comes to studenty staples, i'm a connosieur, even though i cant spell it)

Well, yes, essentially, but it is so much more than that.

My student staple was sausages chopped up, bakebeans and tomatoe ketchup to make a sauce and pasta. Nice and filling.

Heinz tomato soup?

Is that one of the 57 varieties?

I always wondered what the rest of them were.

Quote:

Heinz's slogan for over a century has been "57 Varieties" even though when it was established Heinz had over 60 products. Snopes.com notes:

It was in 1896 that Henry Heinz came up with ["57 Varieties" slogan]. This catch phrase had nothing to do with the actual number of varieties produced by H. J. Heinz, though, which by then totalled over 60 (including plum pudding, strawberry preserve, India relish, olive oil, spaghetti, euchred pickle, currant jelly, chili sauce, peanut butter, and celery soup). Rather, Heinz was riding an elevated train in New York when he spied an advertising placard in the train car promoting "21 styles" of shoes; struck by the concept, and recognizing that catchiness and Heinz resonance were far more important qualities for a company slogan than literal accuracy, Heinz cast about for the perfect number to use for his own company's version of the phrase. Settling on fifty-seven, Heinz soon put the number to work, and within a week the sign of the green Heinz pickle bearing the words "57 Varieties" was everywhere Heinz "could find a place to stick it." He soon ordered the construction of a six-story, twelve-hundred-light display featuring a forty-foot pickle; installed at the intersection of 5th Avenue and 23rd Street in New York City, this electric marvel dazzled New York residents and tourists until 1906.

It is also believed that Henry Heinz was a freemason[citation needed], and 57 was a sacred number of the occult.

Maybe it's a coincidence but there address is:
Box 57
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I had Heinz tinned spotted dick!

It was only okay.

Still, I think Heinz tomato soup would work. I might have to bring you a can of campbells so you can try the real deal!
