What’s a phrase that your parents used years ago

[chtampa]

I'd be your daddy if that dog hadn't beat me over the back fence.

Dad always said, "here, pull my finger".

 

[themechanic]

Dad always quoted the bean poem when we had beans for dinner.

I’m the old man now; “Better to be the Speed Limit than the Stop Sign”

A couple from my Dad:

Starting when I was a teenager, when I'd do something stupid, he'd look at me and shake his head and say "What the hell is wrong with you".

When I wouldn't try fix something before just going and buying a replacement part- "Are you a mechanic or just a parts changer?" Then he would show me how to fix it.

Damn I miss him!

"Watch your driving" everytime I left... I continue saying that today when my wife goes somewhere with-out me...

 

[Thrashingcows]

Once my kids were old enough to go out on their own with friends I will always say as they are leaving..."Make good choices!"

 

[Gpuller]

When me and my two older brothers would be wrestling in the house my dad would say "If you got so much damn energy go outside and pitch horse ****"
We had 65 horses...

Evidently if I had a brain I'd be dangerous...

 

[slepr1]

It's not what I say, it's what I mean. I use that saying all the time.

 

[themechanic]

You don't know **** from Shinola.

Dad

 

[themechanic]

You don't have the brain God gave a rubber duck.

Friend's mom

 

[themechanic]

Snug as a bug in a rug.

 

[themechanic]

Slower than molasses.

Sharp as a tack.

Skinny as a rail.

Quiet as a church mouse.

 

[themechanic]

You'll be late to your own funeral.

Slicker than don't on a glass door knob.

So buck-toothed she could eat corn on the cobb through a picket fence.

Bless her heart.

 

[Sebring]

What goes around comes around

 

[barnfind]

Boy you're slower than smoke off of sh&! on a winter's morning.

 

[Pops1967GTX]

Mom.....Look what you did? Another hole in your pants
