OP My father used this expression that I thought to be his alone. It meant "to sneak extra drinks" as in, "I don't know how he got that drunk, he must be 'Dick Smith-ing' in the kitchen...."
Recently, a friend, whose parents also grew up in San Francisco, used the same expression. Neither of us know the derivation. Can anyone help?
