help, Elvis reference

[calimac]

I did a slightly complex favor for a friend of mine, and reported on my success in an e-mail ending "And ... done."

He replied by e-mail, "As Elvis used to say. (I won't actually say it.)"

I'm embarrassed to ask him, but what did Elvis use to say? I know virtually nothing about Elvis. The only thing I know that he used to say is, "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog."

He's probably non-quoting Elvis saying, in his southern drawl, "Thank yew, thank yew very much." He would say this after he became a big star and applause after a hit song would drown out almost everything else.

Heh heh, it's too early: I read your title as help, Elvish reference. Twice. And then had to wake up enough to figure out what your friend could have meant. I'm no Elvis fan, but I'm sure barondave is right.
