The Umpteenth Time – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: What have I told y’all? Now, for the umpteenth time, keep your noses out of the kitchen trash.

Sweetie: Umpteenth. Is that a special time of day?

Doodlebug: I think it’s one of those made-up words that only humans like.

MoonCat: Umpteenth sounds sort of iffy. Avoid it umpteen times.
