I had always heard "kit and kaboodle", but, you know me, I don't hear anything correctly the first time, and I believe the British call their backpacks "kips", so it could have something to do with that. Anybody have any history on this expression? Could be one of those mis-heard deals like that line from the Jimi Hendrix song, Purple Haze:" 'Scuze me, while I kiss this guy!"
