You brought a smile to my dial....... when I was a youngster, many eon's ago my Dear Mother, when exasperated by my argumentative self used to call me a Philadelphia Lawyer.......

I just went online to get a proper meaning for the phrase.......

"Philadelphia lawyer" means a lawyer (or sometimes someone in a different field) who is shrewd, a good arguer, and good at exploiting technicalities. The phrase can be either a compliment or an insult; it basically depends whether to person so called is on the same side as the speaker.


Yes I know you did not try to insult me

Thanks for brightening my day.........
