Do any of you know of casual phrases using the word "house" to mean "attention"?
As in "Did he give you any house?" to mean "Did he pay you some attention."
If you listen to my podcast, you know I play a voicemail with a listener's familect story at the end. I got an interesting call today about a woman who used "house" that way.
The caller thinks it may have been a general saying from the 1930s or 1940s instead of something only her mother said, but I can't find anything about it.
