Tonight on the phone My Cool Boss said "You sound like a million bucks". I have never understood that expression. Does it mean I'm so wonderful that is what I would be worth? or I sound so happy, like I just won that much money? or successful and competent, like I run a million dollar business? When I was younger my dad used to say I had a million dollar smile and every now and then when looking at a picture he would say "See there is that million dollar smile". (I believe he said it about this one, my high school graduation picture. Man, I miss my long hair.) That expression also makes no sense to me. "Million watt smile" would, since that would mean it was a bright smile, but the money thing I just don't get.
