"The Frim-Fram Sauce" is a #jazz song written by #ReddEvans and Joe Ricardel. The lyrics of the song are from the point of view of a diner who isn't satisfied with corned beef, rye bread, or french-fried potatoes; the diner wants "the frim-fram sauce with the ossenfay", and also "chiffaufer, on the side". In 2002, journalist #WilliamSafire said frim-fram sauce was a variant of flim-flam or deceit and "ussin-fay" was #pigLatin for "fussing".
