    The phrase is from Alice which was a television show back in the the late 70's/early 80's. The show stars Linda Lavin in the title role, a widow who moves with her young son to start her life over again, and finds a job working at a roadside diner on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona. Most of the episodes revolve around the goings on at Mel's Diner. Flo's catch phrase, "Kiss my grits!" was enormously popular at the time her character appeared on Alice. I loved this show as a child! If any catch phrase needs to make a comeback its Dyno-mite!!! LOL
