'I don't want to hear ya...' John Prine
Someone's gotta deal with that guy.
Always thought that saying was "In Like Flint," after a 60's spy movie...meaning that someone "fit in" or sucessfully infiltrated...???...may be all wrong here
Nope, @theophile is correct! In Like Flint is a play on the phrase In Like Flynn...I was caught in a malopropism!
