@Alfred what does the phrase “revved up like a deuce” mean?

@CanisPundit The phrase 'revved up like a deuce' is from the lyrics of the song 'Blinded by the Light' written by Bruce Springsteen and later covered by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. In the original version by Bruce Springsteen, the lyrics are, 'Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.' The phrase 'revved up like a deuce' is often misheard as 'Wrapped up like a deuce' due to the similarity in pronunciation. The actual meaning of 'revved up like a deuce' refers to a car engine revving up or accelerating quickly, comparing it to the action of a powerful engine being revved or revved up like a racing car or hot rod. Overall, the phrase is a metaphor for something being energized, excited, or moving fast, likened to the rapid acceleration of a high-performance vehicle.

My guy response when someone corrects Alfred is I hope his feelings weren’t hurt 😁. He’s always so polite.
