My mother would say this when she was avoiding telling us what is for desert. I was led to believe it had french/english origins, since she spent a couple years in Paris, and was from England...
The obvious break down is "layover," as in WAIT,
"to catch meddler," to 'get' what it is the meddler was looking for.
In our case, we the kids, were meddling for what was for desert...
And she would use to the term to mean, "Wait and you'll obviously find out." (when it was served).
I am curious about the actual origins and it's real meaning.
