Hi Jackie. I've heard "bits and drams" before, but in my world, drab = boring or lacking in personality, usually used in reference to muted colors or party poopers. "Drams" makes a kind of sense with regard to small units of measure.

That this thread has been up as long as it has, and no one else has come up with the "drams" reference makes me wonder if *that's* completely obscure too.
