The Strip Zombie Burlesque With comedy, variety acts, a live big band and an award-wining cast of characters, Zombie Burlesque takes place in Las ... When: Thursday, April 20th @ 8:30 p.m. Place: @V Theater inside Miracle Mile Shops.
In order of appearance: 1  Huckleberry Finn (Huck to his friends) is a boy about thirteen or fourteen or along there years old. 2  Widow Douglas is the kind woman who has taken Huck in after he helped save her from a violent home invasion. 3  Miss Watson is the widow's sister, a tough old spinster who also lives with them.
Huckleberry was commonly used in the 1800's in conjunction with persimmon as a small unit of measure. I'm a huckleberry over your persimmon meant I'm just a bit better than you. As a result, huckleberry came to denote idiomatically two things. First, it denoted a small unit of measure, a tad, as it were, and a person who was a huckleberry could be a small, unimportant person--usually expressed ironically in mock self-depreciation.
