We use the phrase around here too in SE Pa.
You guessed correctly.
Of course in my youthful days the word "kid" was filled in with a more shi...I mean more gritty term lol.
Jack Paar made the phrase famous and wrote his autobiography with the title:
I Kid You Not (1961 hardcover)
Great to know.
Thanks for digging it up.
I was too young and dumb for Paar but I remember adults I was around would comment that Carson was a lightweight compared to Paar.
