kidding on the square


joking, but also meaning it
i can see how you might think al franken had coined the expression if you had never heard it before, but it was an expression my mother when i was growing up — and she died in 1984.
when al picked up the tab for dinner he joked about me being a tightwad; i felt bad because i figured he was probably kidding on the square.
a frankenism, meaning joking, but really meaning it.
nick: hey, frank, how’s the wife treatin’ ya?
frank: f-ck you, nick.
nick: kidding on the square, frank!
