Is "strip my mind" an idimatic expression? #1 (permalink) Sat Apr 28, 2007 17:41 pm   Is "strip my mind" an idimatic expression?
 

As far as I know the phrase "strip my mind" has been coined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers but I'm not sure. Googling the phrase produces more than 83.000 results! So, I guess my question is have you ever heard that phrase? (strip my mind)

Thanks,
T

I haven't heard of this expression outside of the song. I think it will soon be an idiom due to its popularity. I, too, did a google search and got 480,000 hits ! :)

Hi DH,

Did you put the phrase in quotation marks when you googled it? Also, what do you think of the Hot Chili Peppers, they are from California too, aren't they?

No I didn't use quotation marks...that explained a larger number of hits! I don't know much about the Hot Chili Peppers except I do enjoy one of their songs that is played in one of the roller coaster rides in the Disneyland's California Adventure theme park.
