How Many Is Umpteen? Flash Win!

Elle's soccer team won again yesterday beating the Blast by an undetermined amount of goals. The final score was officially Umpteen to 1. When I say 'undetermined' I truly lost count (and Upwards does not support keeping score).

I know my parents and grandparents had a lot of unique sayings (many of which are vulgar). My favorites from my grandmother Vivian (mammaw-pictured) were "Doesn't no sh*t from shine-ola" and "Dumber than owl sh*t."


So how many is umpteen? I am not sure how many people have even heard the term before. I think the first time Laura asked me how many it was I said "17." I say it doesn't matter. It is ambiguously fun!
