I always assumed it meant you "won" against the odds like winning a million dollars, but the kings family explanation makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/millionaires-family#post-2477147 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 18:37:05 +0000 stiletto_mom 2477147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/millionaires-family#post-2477127 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 18:17:28 +0000 mrbee 2477127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I've heard a similar term: King's choice! First the king has a son (the heir) and then he has a daughter (to marry off to another king and ensure peace between two kingdoms).</p> <p>These days it's mostly used to refer to a boy and a girl in any order... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/millionaires-family#post-2477118 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 17:53:29 +0000 MoonMoon 2477118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I'm not sure!

(in laws are Canadian, maybe it's definitely related to the French saying?) </p>
