outdated slang

My Grandmother used to say,"Isn't that the berries"

She was from the Midwest. I had never heard it before or since.

I just looked it up. It apparently means doesn't that just suck. lol

I don't recall that being the context in which she used it though.

She passed away at 93 years of age a long time ago. I miss her.

I have her recipe box. I don't know why I had to mention that. It's just the berries that I did though.

hehehe what a funny word.
