What’s a phrase that your parents used years ago

[Bill76]

Don't believe everything you hear and only half of what you see

 

[slimt]

Or. As my Grandma used to say. After I took a cookie from the jar without asking. You have sinned your going to hell. :::: like Really?
Man ,those days from the past were to weird for me.

My mother used to tell my father " Zoh stav go", which in Polish meant "leave him alone", as my father was taking off his belt to whack me.

My brother and I where always getting into trouble.
I remember,
"your full off **** like a turkey on Thanksgiving"
"like two bulls in a china closet"
and "Don't disrespect the garage" when I got caught banging a girl in there. It was a detached if those walls could talk;-)
on time he caught me back there again and banged on the door yelling "what are you doing in there? I replied were just necking he said well put your neck back in your pants and get out of there its not a motel !!we laughed for a long time after that on.

 

[jimt1971rr]

My dad used to say "The man should always have the final word at home! Even if it is " yes dear".

And besides all this we grew up straight, responsible, respectful of our elders, productive, we don't blame our parents for the spanking we deserve for not obey them, for the belts in our asses, the brushes in our heads, we are not traumatized, we laugh and remember all this fondly

Well, back in the day my brothers and I were like stuntmen on BMX bikes and wrecks happened all the time. We would come to our dad sometimes bleeding and some times crying.. His words of advice to us was.. "If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough". Pretty much sums up the tough love he gave.

Some good ones...

you wait til your father gets home! (Heard that a lot!)

he would say.. when only half pissed, I’ll kick your *** so far up between your shoulder blades that when you wanna **** you’ll need to take your shirt off! (Mind you only have pissed.. really pissed...quiet and watch out!)

Shut the damn door! You brought up in a barn?

 

[themechanic]

"How many times do I have to tell you?", "6!' old Carlin joke

This one needs some background.

Some evenings Mom and Dad would retire early. The 5 of us kids would be up late watching TV. After some time had passed Dad would come out of the bedroom wearing nothing but his tighty-whiteys, sit down in his chair, light up a smoke and exclaim, "Hot damn, it's hot in that room."

 

[themechanic]

My best friend's Mom used to say, "I'll put knots on your head faster than you can rub em."

 

[aldal]

My dad used to give us hell and then end it with "and I don't mean maybe!"

 

[khryslerkid]

"This is going to hurt me as much as it's going to hurt you"

(Well don't do it!)

 

[f569]

If everybody else jumped off a bridge would you jump too?

(would offer to box up the food for the starving kids if somebody else came up with the postage .... was usually good for a backhand from the family elder closest to me at the time)

 

[khryslerkid]

"Do as I say, not as I do"

 

[Nate S]

When driving by a house that was falling down or in terrible repair, “looks like it needs some wall paper”. When something worked well after a repair, “just like New York”.

 

[65wgn440]

Mom's favorite, " You're cruisin' for a bruisin' ". Old Man's favorite, "You'd forget your head if it wasn't fastened on".

 

[f569]

"Do as I say, not as I do"

Used to hear that one quite often too!

 

[PRND21]

Common expressions around here was, “he don’t know **** from Shinola” or “I wouldn’t piss up his *** if his guts were on fire”!

 

[hemi71x]

"piss, or get off, the pot" if something irritated my pop while driving.
