Is this a Get Low, “I done been to this club bout fifty eleven times” reference?

    Well I'll be damned. Here I was trying to be all mysterious and poignant, and you just flip it all upside down. I grew up - during the 90's - with a language in which we say "fifty eleven" to mean "a lot". I would never have guessed that it is NOT a piece of slang native to my language.
