Growing up, did you learn any phrases or saying from you parents, grandparents or aunts and uncles? My father was had a wealth of saying to express himself. Some I have adapted as my own. Dryer than a popcorn fart That was industrial stupid Hotter than a 2-dollar pistol How about you? What are your phrases? | ||

Never get married, save your time and just give half your money to a woman you absolutely hate If it drives, flies, floats, or f*cks, ITS CHEAPER TO RENT Grandma said “boys are smelly and dumb”.. grandpa would reply with “well, if it has tits, it will cause trouble”.. I truly think both are right! | ||

My grandma said to me one time, "If you are looking for sympathy it is between shit and syphilis in the dictionary". My dad would always say when something befuddled him,"Well, shit and two is eight ". | ||

My dad always said "shit fire and save the matches" whenever it all went sideways. | ||

Lew360, I had forgotten until now. My dad used to say "Sh!t hell's fire" when things didn't go right. Another was "Harder than a honeymoon D!ck." He certainly was a poet | ||

I always called my father "Sakie". He would tell all his co-workers "Boys, I'm gonna go home and hit the sack." He worked his aiss off as a newspaper printing press mechanic. His other nickname was "Wick".  | ||

Oh, and BTW, so far this is all our dad's phrases, and such. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, youn's! My mother took after her dad. She and he were likely to write very good letters to the editor of the local papers... The Nashville Banner or The Tennessean. Whenever I got a longhand letter or card from my Mommy, it was and still is a precious thing to read. I also got my love of music, jazz in particular, and my love of language from her. | ||

My dad's been gone 22 years now. I don't remember many of them. One I do remember was when I told him I was going to do something he thought I couldn't do it was, "You're going to shit and fall back in it!" My old riding buddy who's turning 90 soon had quite a few, like, it's colder than a well diggers ass! I'm busier than a one legged man in an ass kickin contest! | ||
