    A grand coup? What, is Charlie Brown supposed to be the neighborhood checkers champion nobody can beat?

    A ā€˜grand coupā€™ is actually a term from bridge, not checkers!

    The real Lucy is starting to show up. Just wait until she has a brother.

    Quite a vocabulary sheā€™s got, for a little kid. But notice, she was still a toddler a month ago, now she and CB are nearly the same ageā€”and I always thought from later strips that she was a year or two older.

    As for her use of an unusual expression hereā€¦. She might have overheard the term ā€œgrand coupā€ if her parents played Whist or Bridge, and got a general sense of its value without knowing an exact definition.

    What little kid even knows what a coup is?

    Maybe her grandparents drive a Coupe de Ville.

    @Stephen Treadwell : itā€™s either a 2 foot car or a place to keep chickuns!

    Autocorrect: door, not foot.

    Vocabulary is directly related to what a child hears in early childhood from parents or his/her significant care-giver.

    I found the following quote online.

    .

    ā€œThe 1950s were the height of bridge popularity in the US; the joke was probably based on the idea of her having heard the term and assuming it applied to any game at hand.

    .

    Mostly, I wanted to mention that Charles Schulz was a bridge fiend. Recently, About Comics published a collection of his short-lived panel gag strip ā€™Itā€™s Only a Gameā€™, which is all jokes about sports and games. One out of every three strips is a bridge strip."

    Thereā€™s no luck in a game like checkersā€”itā€™s all skill.
