What quotes did you family/parents always say that ya just thought were either odd, or just plain made no sense at all?


My step fathers favorite saying is

" he's got a bug up his ass!"

...."what the hell you doing?.....you GD potlicker"

And if you wanted to do something or get something done quick, it was "whoa,whoa...lets slow down here". This was his favorite saying the months before he died and we were trying to get him to sign legal papers for his finances and medical care.

God Bless Ya, Pops.

Nuttier than a peach orchard Boar
Crazier than a pet coon in a barrel of wiskey

I always like "you're about a sharp as a bowling ball (Foghorn leghorn)

If anyone was to give my mother the silent treatment or was too embarassed to talk for some reason she would say
"Speak ass, mouth won't"

My grandfather when asked how did a person die he would reply "lack of breathin"

Slicker then whale shit in an ice flow was good for someone who thought his shit didn't stink.
Slcker than snot on a doorknob was good for someone who just screwed up
Smooth move, exlax for the same

Busier than a cranberry merchant

and last but not least
when you ask my mother why she hated and divorced my father
"because he was so cheap that he would pinch that nickel till the buffalo shits"

Love it.

My mama never said anything derrogatory about anyone. So when she didn't have anything nice to say about someone, we knew she had issues with that person.

When we kids asked my dad where he was going, he would say "To see a man about a dog (or a duck)."

mom to me;

stop being a cement head

where have you been my Prodigal Son?

My Grandmother, in her soft quiet voice

"be still, Larry, be still"

some others I've heard, but can't recall who said them;

you can't listen if you don't close your mouth

God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason

I had a good deal of what was said above to me when I was a kid except for what happened to Mikey but I doubt he was serious. (I hope) Anyway I tried to not do the same thing to my kids and always look for something positive to say to them and break the cycle.

when we would all sit at the table to eat there were 6 of us kids and all of us would be talking ....when my dad finally had enough he would yell at us to stop talking with our mouths full....

all it took was one of us to say that we did not have noting in our mouth and then he would tells us "then shut the hell up and fill them"..............

How you do anything is how you do everything

Mom also used to say
"you couldn't please him if you hung him with a new rope"
Or
"I couldn't impress you if I stood on my head and shit in my back pocket"

She was and is a lovely lady.
:wink:
