several others i'm rather fond of i've picked up elsewhere along the way: you can call yourself a bowl of oatmeal, but you'd look damd funny sitting on the table with milk on your head. think nothing of it. we don't think much of it either. and of course; don't let the door hit ya where the dog bit ya. =^^= .../\...
I learnt a saying from my boys that I use to shut someone up if their doing too much bragging. It’s, “Well your hairs not made of gold” They also had this other saying that I didn’t like at the time but I do now – it’s “ I do what I like”. Cheers!
My grandma- 'Through the lips and onto the hips'. She has said it everytime we have sat down to eat since I can remember...and she wonders why all the feamles in my family have suffered from eating disorders!
You can't get blood out of a turnip. OUt of the mouths of babes (always comes the trueth) you can't have your cake and eat it to Your a scrappy little begger where is that little skillet head(in reference to a child) No use crying over spilt milk You look like death warmed over (used when someone is sick or hung over)
My dad's favorite to tell me everytime I talk about getting another tattoo..."I'll tattoo your face!" (while shaking his fist at me) My family doesn't use that many sayings.....mainly just profanity and threats. Oh but the all time favorite was my great grandmother's response about getting remarried - "I wouldn't want another man even if he had a golden asshole."
My stepdad's favorite threat was, " I knock you into the middle of next week!" Instead of goodbye, my uncle would say, "Don't let your meat loaf."
"Hanging around like a hair in a biscuit" "If you were any slower, you'd be dead" "Don't eat the yellow snow"
whenever asked where she was going, my mom would reply "UP A CHICKEN'S ASS TO GET AN EGG SANDWICH!" for years i though "up a chicken's ass" was a restaraunt and i really wanted to go because i LOVE egg sandwiches.
Grunge wasn't around at that stage, and my mom never breast fed me, so your assumptions are incorrect [as usual].
