An expression explained best by fellow designer grypesagon

Huckleberries smell good and taste sweet at first but become very bitter very fast.

The expression is basically saying:
"If you're looking for something, I can give you what you want, but in the end you won't like it."

It was also a line from the movie tombstone by the character Doc Holliday.

'Huckleberry' is slang for hucklebearer which is a Southern paulbearer thing. Implying death.

Cool design regardless

Edword on Mar 06 '07

humm.. that's neat to know.

Totally random: I thought his gunholters were his legs, and I automatically thought of Mr. Krabs from Spongebob. And it made me happy.

Sorry, I've heard of huckle berry but I'm not very familiar with it (I'm not from USA)

stinksmcgee on Mar 08 '07

I would probably find this annoying having to explain what a huckleberry is to everyone.

That's kind of a cool design, and upon further review, I could see myself wearing this one. Well done.

$5 and a [probable] buy

I dig it! Would wear it for sure. 4 for style + 1 for concept, you do the math cowboy...

andycasto on Mar 20 '07

really cool, but doesn't have the "Doc Holiday" silouette that I think it should. It kind of more looks like a generic cowboy... which is alright, too.

I'd still buy it.

Ok, this is a cool shirt, but what the guy claims the expression is saying is absolutely wrong, so is the idea that it means pallbearer, wrong.

What it really means is:

"I'm the man for the job" or " I'm your man"

Looking at it in context, Johnny Ringo challenges Wyatt Earp to a fight, Earp dismisses him and Doc Holiday steps in, "I'm your huckleberry, " "It's just my game." in other words, " I'm your man," "I'm good at duels."

Edword on Aug 28 '07

they are both right.
