In Reply to: It's a common expression... posted by cokechic on October 20, 2003 at 02:02:10:
: : I've heard this expression in 2 of Kevin's movies (J&SBSB and the Jersey Girl trailer). I hadn't heard it before then. Is this a common expression or is it a Smithism?
: Comes from "crush" as in "I have a crush on you". it's a teenage thing... "I'm crushin hard on that guy".
I understood the meaning. I just didn't know the origin. It was not an expression that I heard when I was a teenager in the 60s. It's kind of cute ;-)
