things you hear people say - catch phrase?

[hmmmm16417]

I figured it would be fun to post things that people commonly say around the world and compare. I'm sure some of us will show our age with certain sayings/words....but hey, that's the fun! I'll start......

the mother of a girl i dated years ago used to say "I'm so mad I could spit!" made me laugh


I occasionally say "FUk me getnly with a chainsaw!" heard it in the movie "HEATHERS" and it stuck.....kinda replaces "well, i'll be a monkey's uncle!"




next!

[steffo99]

Old folks had many great sayings around here and this made me think of something my grandmother (born 1897) used to say when she got
annoyed at someone talking too much: "His damn mouth is running like a lambs ass"



hope that translation made sense

I have to admit that sometimes my language gets a little salty. When I get miffed, peeved, vexed, annoyed, irritated, or downright peeO'd, I go a little crazy with the expletives. Sometimes I will say things like "shucks" or "horse-hocky" or "golly" or "my goodness" or "cheese and crackers".... or when things don't go my way, I might say "fruity tooty fresh and fruity, I am in a world of doody"...and when I am feeling particularly cantankerous and bellicose, I have been known to throw in a "gee whiz" here and there.

EDIT: I know this is a family board, so I apologize for my R-rated post above. Since this is the O35 section, I hope there weren't many kids who read the horrible language above. I suspect I will be getting some PM's from angry parents nonetheless.

When the streets were slick from snow or ice, my dad always said "it's slick as snot out there". Still don't know what that means, but as kids it was funny to hear our dad say "snot."

I was once at the Nebraska Furniture Mart and the late owner Mrs. B was getting frustrated with one of the sales girls and started calling her something in Russian. Of course the gal had no idea what she was saying but one of the other sales people came up to her and whispered in her ear. Then she started saying to Mrs. B, "did you just call me a goat? Mrs. B, you shouldn't call me a goat!". I had to laugh out loud overhearing all this. Mrs. B just kept calling her that Russian word much to the poor gal's frustration. Mrs. B was about 100 at the time and still working everyday I suspect she didn't care what the young gal thought or not. LOL

A bit off topic but for some reason this thread made me remember that.

Funny, we always claim that it's slicker'n greased owl sh!t.

Not that I've ever seen any owl sh!t. Nor do I know why anyone would grease it.

I have been damaged.
Also my dad says on leaving "lets make like a fetus and head out.

I hear people say, 'no thanks jeff' alot.

[racejunkie]

In NH we say "jeezum crow!" Have no idea how it should be spelled. And in MA, it's "wicked Pissa!" if it's something good

[paolo59]

LOL Some pretty good quotes! There was a similar thread to this some time back. My grandfather would say; "You're sucking the tit now." Had something to do with being behind, losing in a game etc. It sure cracked up an 11 year old grandson every time I heard it!

[RT1957]

My father was born in the early 1920's he had 2 things he use to say that I guess were sayings in the 30's and 40's

"Your ass sucks canal water" and "You talk like a man with a paper A$$hole both = "You're full of $hit"

[Demonchylde]

I may not be a fighter, but I understand how to kill things. TM

Used that on some drunk who picked a fight with my friend.

[Minotaur]

My mother used to say "so mad I could spit" also; "he should hide his face in sh*t" for someone who should be so ashamed; "he'll be biting his elbow" when it was clear something would epically backfire on someone (I think she made that one up). I say "sneaky/quiet as a greased ghost" and "faster than sh*t goes through a goose".

I always use 'snake snot'... like the alliteration, and snake snot is ssssssslick ssssssshyt.

My mom's regular sayings, I've seen since:

'Cat fur (is) to make kitten britches, and little boys (are) to make questions.'

The typical response when she didnt want to answer something.

[Land_Down_Under]

Also heard from my mates nan ' if my dog was that ugly I'd shave its ass n make it walk backwards'

was good for a laugh

If frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their butts when they hopped.

Something my dad always said when I had a "what if" question.

LOL There are things that you heard as a child that just bring back a world of memories. My mother had a saying (she didn't hesitate to put a hand sharply to your backside when she felt the need) "Stop the crying, or I'll give you something to cry about!" Ha ha When reminded of that now the sweet little 86 year old just smiles and says; "I said that?"

Just a few I can think of off hand.....
See ya later, I'm"off like a prom dress"
He's softer than a "half-crazed Albania pig f***er"
"New pencil?= do you have a point?
Okay, I'm off "like a striped-ass bird that didn't eat for a week"
I may add more later

Ha ha Be sure to do that!
Here are a couple that I've heard over and over again growing up;

"Stupid is as stupid does."
"That's the backseat of ignorance personified!"

Awesome! Good thread, makes some laughs and takes some of us back.

Flash as a rat with a gold tooth

and my old man used to say to me when I was a kid : Boy, you're as strong as an ox and as smart as a tractor

[JediRN]

I remember my Dad saying when getting up, "I feel like I've been shot at and missed, sh!t at and hit.

My Grandma always use to tell me that I "didn't know the difference between sh!t and Shinola (or apple butter) the older I get.. the more I realize how right she was.
