Formatted and title corrected. This may be an Americanism. (and Canadianism?) It's enough of a set idiom to have been used as a novel title by the popular African-American author Terry McMillan (also author of How Stella Got Her Groove Back). --EncycloPetey22:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
If it is regional (as I believe it is,) it may cause the question to resurface again. Citations are an excellent way to answer the question before it is asked again. (My two cents.) --Connel MacKenzie18:42, 9 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Is it that the person is a day late, and therefore they're not getting the dollar they came for, or is is that the person arrived a day late, and doesn't even have enough resources anyway?
