If I Had My Druthers
Now, what could this expression possibly mean? You might want to watch Li’l Abner for reference, which is the Broadway musical from the 50s that the line was popularized by. This show parodied the country-faring Southerners of the time, who used the phrase “If I had my druthers”, which translates to “If I had my way”. For example, a man that is too old to enlist in the U.S. Army might say, “If I had my druthers, I’d be leaving for Afghanistan tomorrow!”
