SOWISA is my favorite expression ever! I use it sometimes, but get kinda wierd looks from people.

Thank you again dear.
I'll strap on when it seems appropriate...

My oldest sister who read Lisey's Story with me hates this expression, she loved the book but she said that SOWISA sounds odd to her.
I kept asking her what bothered her about it and she wouldn't say until finally she said she associates the term with a peculiar sex act of some sort.

It makes her blush when ever I say it. So I say it ever once in a while just to see her blush. It is a little sister's duty to irritate her older siblings no matter how old they get.

ROFL! I know what she's talking about, I thought of it myself, but the idea behind the expression used in the book is just too strong, and it overcomes the other thing!

Yup, I agree with her. I kinda think of it like strapping on and "manning up" if ya know what I mean? Like, don't be a pussy!
Heck, I'm trying to keep it clean here so that's the best way I can describe it without being too descriptive.

Here I can't follow you. There's a limit to my english knowledge and I guess you're talking about a kind of technicism that I don't understand.
And I am not asking for a technical description!! I am a good, respectful, God fearing girl
