What English phrase “Frick and Frack” never, ever heard anyone say it.
I’ve never heard anyone say that here in the UK.
Wasn’t Frick and Frack a couple guys who did an auto repair radio talk show?
The expression Frick and Frack are where two people are indistinguishable from one another. It’s a more dated expression now due to the age of those in the reference. It’s one I’d heard on and off, and recently heard on Apple Tv’s The Morning Show and decided to read up on it.
TIL that “ice skating comedy” used to be a thing.
