"....as far away as Timbuktu."
This is a phrase I've known all my life, but I'm curious as to what it means! Now my daughter wants to know, also. I don't know what to tell her! Help, please!
You said you were curious to what it meant I told you what it meant
You didn't say you wanted to know the history and origin or I would have found a link
I know you weren't trying to mean I was just pointing out that if you don't specify then you can expect any kind of answer from a one sentence answer to an elaborated detailed one with links.
