One of my catchphrases when I was a wise-ass adolescent involved a bag of nickles. I was in the Navy and heard it from a guy who had grown up on the eastern end of Long Island. It’s not New England, but close if you take a ferry. Sean MacFarlane is unmistakably from New England, where Family Guy is set. It all got me wondering if ‘bag of nickles’ is a thing throughout the region.

BTW, my version went like, ‘he looks like he got hit in the face by a bag of nickles going 50 miles an hour’. Groin work never occurred to me.
