what the E does that mean???

[Genuine GA Peach]

some of the 'old sayings' mom uses (and her mom used...and her mom used...etc.)

"To each his own" said the old lady as she kissed the cow.

response to "I want ______" was always: You're old enough for your wants not to hurt you

response to "I don't want to" was either : You will if you want to live and do well OR Did I ask you what you wanted to do???

when we'd forget something: Do I need to put a rabbit under your arm to breathe for you?

asking too many questions: What...are you writing a book? Well, you can just leave that chapter out.

I know there are others. Half of these never made any sense at all to me.

did Iowa Swirl make it over here? Maybe she could help

I was taught time travel...

"I'll knock you into next week"

[DebMD (banned)]

"I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it"

[DebMD (banned)]

These 2 sayings together:

"God Bless the child that has their own"

and

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

for when I wanted something.

You can't cry over spilled milk. [I'm pretty sure I probably did cry over spilled milk when I was little]

If the shoe fits, wear it. [Like I'd wear shoes that don't fit??]

I was teasing with an older coworker and told him F-you! He said "pack a lunch and bring a flashlight" We all cracked up but I never learned exactly what it meant (he died last year of cancer, you and think about you often, Howard).

I've hated this phrase from the first time I've heard it, but I'm sure the next generation will here "it is what it is" and think everyone was on drugs...

another one:

when she'd get tired of us constantly starting every sentence with "mom", she'd tell us, "I'm going to change my name to DAD"

[steff]

mom hollering from another room "let's see who can yell the loudest.... I CAN ...now shut up before I have to come in there and shut yall up"


it should be noted that we were teenagers fighting over Super Mario....

My son cracks me up every time he leaves me a phone message. He starts with "Hi Mom, it's me (says his name)" He's an only child!!

You're damn right I cried over spilled milk! That meant a whack on the rump!
My mom used to always yell "fuck me hard" when something didn't go right. I used to think she was cursing the Indian kid across the street. His name was Mihir, but "me hard" and "me hair" sounded similar to me!

You`re mother said what???

"I was teasing with an older coworker and told him F-you! He said pack a lunch and bring a flashlight" We all cracked up but I never learned exactly what it meant (he died last year of cancer, you and think about you often, Howard)."

I've heard the "pack a lunch" part when a friend said that was her response to someone that said they were going to kick her ass. I asked her what it meant. She said they needed to pack a lunch because they were going to be there a while trying to kick her ass.

My family has some of the craziest stuff that they've been saying for years. My Mom would threaten me by saying when she got through with me, it wouldn't be nothing left but a greasy spot. Ummm, really Mom?

My Grandma wins the prize for her crazy comments. The most memorable is the time she was mad at my grandfather and yelled "I'm so mad, a piano could jump out my ass playing Amazing Grace". I'm not sure what the piano had to do with being mad, but we still laugh about that one.

[Befferz]

My ex-MIL once said that if my e-SIL (her daughter) ate something or other, she would be "pooping like a truck driver." My ex and I laughed about that for years.

[Apple]

Lol about the piano!

My BIL's dad always said "I wouldn't shove that up my ass if I had room for a freight train" (meaning he thought something was dumb or worthless).

A coworker would comment "if it was up your ass you'd know" if you asked him where something was.

[Peace Of Mind]

I love these expressions and one of my friends and I like to use this one. (If it's a Wednesday) She'll say: "I'll knock you into next week!" and I'll respond "Then I'll kick your ass on Thursday." We stole it from the Ya Ya Sisterhood movie.

When he was making a point, my godfather would say "I bet you 10 dollars and a bucket of shit..." Ummm, no thanks........

[Genuine GA Peach]

Pink, your family sounds like mine.

good to see you over here

Wish in one hand, sh!t in the other, and see which one gets full first.

It's just a reaction, later.
Stub your toe? "F me hard!"
My mom was never one for censoring herself. Oy.

[Beemermom]

I've never heard my Mother even say "Hell"....and I would never say the "F" word around my kids.

[Genuine GA Peach]

I think I would faint if I ever heard mom say the F word! She'll let some of the milder ones slip when she's really perturbed

[kimber45]

I don't think my mom ever swore much around us kids, My dad would let out a few f-bombs once in a while and a lot of GD its

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

My dad used to yell "I'll smack you so hard you'll wake up unconcious!"

[Deleted]

Hey Genuine GA Peach! It's good to be here. I'm soooo glad the community stayed together.

[Artemis Windsong]

If I needed an "atta girl" the resonse was "a haughty spirit goes before a fall."

Things I got DD to stop saying are, if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger. WRONG. The other is the I'll take you out threat. I could just smite you. You'd have to add the word rather than smite. Sensitivities, you know.

One I am developing and will change to a positive is when I start feeling smiley, something steps on it.

I like it is what it is because it is colder than cold outside and that is a great response to endless complaints. That also works for most whining.

[Deleted]

What I've always wondered is if you ask "is it Monday?" and the reply is "all day unless it rains..." WTF does that mean? Suddenly it's no longer Monday because it's raining?

[verrip1]

The closest my mom ever came to cussing was when she'd hurt herself. She'd yell out "Sacramento Potato Patch!". I doubt she was ever a farm worker.

[honeybunny66]

In middle and high school, my mom would always threaten "I wish you would get pregnant. I'll make you eat that baby!" Now, I didn't think that was possible but I was always too scared to find out for sure.
