great minds..."Heeled"=armed. "Well heeled"=plenty-o-cash. Don't believe me, ask Wyatt Earp. "High heeled"; ask Hurricane Jack.
Exactly, but I like the ones you can put goldfish in.

how bout those Knicks ?
I don't follow hockey. [emoji4]
I understood "heeled" to mean armed, and "well-heeled" to mean "well-supplied with money," "flush with cash," etc."Well heeled" is a term used to describe one who is well armed, as in packing heat, walking heavy, carrying a blaster under your coat, etc... is it also a term to say one is well dressed?
I'm neither...I understood "heeled" to mean armed, and "well-heeled" to mean "well-supplied with money," "flush with cash," etc.
I should have tried that, just to see what would happen.I was called to jury duty last week , and was almost immediately dismissed. I had other business at the courthouse ( taxes among them ) and stopped and talked to some old friends . On the way down the stairs someone called and I turned to be joined by on of the defense lawyers who complimented me on my dress and hat - I was wearing black dress slacks, blue shirt with black leather jacket and had a a vintage blue/gray whippet. As we reached the door to his office he told me that I was dismissed because they felt that I would have too much influence on the others.
At the very least you would likely be the best dressed in the jury pool.I should have tried that, just to see what would happen.
Yes, I dressed my usual suit and hat for a Coroners Jury........ended up the Foreman......I should have tried that, just to see what would happen.
Only time I was in the jury pool I was wearing jeans & a Western hat. When I checked in at the jury room the computer randomly gave me #13, & I thought to myself that ain't good. There were 66 people in the pool that day because originally they were going to seat juries for two trials but one trial was settled the night before. So it was a big crowd.I was called to jury duty last week , and was almost immediately dismissed.

I will add to this that I'm 6'5 250 lbs and things like this donot usually happen.Now that I'm 56 I donot suffer fools well and will not let a fools rude behavior or comment go unattended to.
Some months ago I was in a local big box store wearing a FedIV and noticed 3 20 something's staring at me/hat, and snickering. Thought to myself "whatever" and went about my business, couple isles later I see them again and this time one of them says"nice hat dude" in a very snarky manner. Now again, I don't suffer fools or their ways well and will not shrink from putting one in their place when given the chance, so without misses the opportunity I looked at the fool and said "yeah, it is a nice hat and unlike your face I can always change it." Next thing I hear is his friends yelling at the fool "DUDE YOU JUST GOT ROASTED!" Completed my shopping with a shit eaten grin all the way to the checkout counter.
