My dad might as well have been yours.I'm 86 years old and say things that drive my kids and grandkids crazy, but most of it I learned from my dear mom and dad.
Mom
1. Someone that complains about everything: They'd be mad if they were hung with a gold rope.
2. Someone that is always in other's business: They're afraid someone will fart and they won't get to smell it.
3. When you didn't to as told: I've told you 30 eleven times to do that.
Now my Dad
1. Want in one hand and shit in the other and tell me which one gets full first.
2. On a beautiful day: If the weather was like this year round, we couldn't afford to live here.
3. Someone says "are you shitting me": I wouldn't shit you, you're my favorite turd.
Finally, they both called what we would now probably refer to as a punk little kid as "shit asses".
Anyone else have any?
My dad would call those people "blow asses" or he would say "all hat, no cattle" or "born on third base and act like they hit a triple."Lazy person: he hasn't struck a lick at a snake in a 'coons age.
Dad: He's about as pleasant as pleurisy.
Dad: ( phony) He's a stuffed shirt.
Playing the if game: well, if my aunt had balls, she'd have been my uncle.
How hot is it: hotter than my granny's cooter on her wedding night (not my parents, but a friend of mine's).
If my dog looked like her I'd shave its ass and teach it to walk backwards.My dad is full of these sayings,
Harder than Japanese arithmetic.
He's so dumb he couldn't pour piss out of a boot if you told him the instructions were written on the heel.
Stiffer than a preachers dick in a calves ass.
I wouldn't pay that much to see a piss ant eat a bale of hay.
That could puke a maggot off a gut wagon.
She's so ugly she could make a freight train take a dirt road.
My pops told me, keep in mind this is in the 50s, "if it has tits or tires, it will cause you problems."Dad: Women are all the same except for their cookin'.
this is one from my childhood too.My Dad used to say about someone being lazy or not paying attention. "He's got his thumb up his ass and his mind in Arkansas" If it was directed at me, it would be simplified to "git yer thumb out yer ass, melon head"
These are things I first heard from my dad’s family:
-Tighter than Dick’s hatband.
Lazy man, My dad would say "he wouldn't work in a pie factory."Recently was "here while back".
Years ago was "way back yander".
The Depression was called "back in hard times".
The Devil was the "booger man". (The booger man is going to git you.")
A man who wouldn't work was "sorry as kyarn".
I called my father "Daddy" on his death bed. I was 57 years old. It's a country thing I guess. My kids stopped calling me daddy when they were teenagers and we moved to the city and their friends made fun of them. But the entire time I lived in Western Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky they called me that.Laid up like a hair in a biscuit- if something was really stuck.
Ask him what time it is and he’d tell you how to build a clock- describing a long winded fellow.
Fast time and slow time.
Calling their dads daddy even when their dads were in their 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.
I’ve foundered- I’ve eaten way too much and I want to die.
“if hit had been a snake hit’d a bit you”
Bless his/her heart- (it was a long time before I understood this.)
Every crow thinks theirs is the blackest- a parent blinded by love.
Not having any “truck” with somebody- this must be truly archaic. I heard my grandma say this all her life. Not having any business with somebody.
To spark- to flirt. Also, courting. “You going a -courting”? in a teasing way.
The more I think of this I realize that a lot has been lost.
my sweet mom used to say I should have pinched your head off when you were born-There is no way that you come from my loins
-remind me when we get home to slap ya momma
Thought that was from Yellowbeard at first.-There is no way that you come from my loins
-remind me when we get home to slap ya momma
