A little iodine and that thing could walk again
You say this when you think a barely cooked meat is just a little hurt and could run around again with a little iodine and a lot of hope.
My steak looked like it had been in a fight. I said, 'A little iodine and that thing could walk again!'
That burger was barely alive. I said, 'Just give it some iodine and it’ll be back on the grill.'
The meat was half-dead. I said, 'It just needs a little iodine and a good laugh.'
