I believe what it means is "heh heh your shoes are stuck up there now". Either that or "bring home Sergeant William Schumann".

I have no doubt today that that's what it actually means, but for some reason that's never how I heard it. (I regret not thinking to put it up as a poll option now, tho)

I'd've voted for that option--it's what I took for granted when I was a kid, the kind of town I grew up in.

I've heard recently--the past two years, maybe--the drug-meet story, but not previously.

I hadn't run into the drugs story as a kid, but classicaljunkie heard it from a neighbor a couple of years ago. So maybe that's more of an adult-based urban legend than a kid one...

Yeah, it was just the result of bullying, I always was told and believe.

I totally though Wag The Dog when I saw the question, too.
