Your favorite expression

[Kaila]

Life is not a bowl of peaches.

 

[Della]

My father taught me this one while I was in high-school and it helped me get over myself.


"You wouldn't worry so much about what other people think of you, if you knew how rarely they did.

 

[horseless carriage]

My husband used to say about a neighbour of ours: " If Bulls**t was a musical instrument, he'd be a grand symphony orchestra".

There's something about poop: When I was the general manager I had an expression to put the joker in his place.
"If wit was sh*t you would be constipated!"

 

[bobcat]

That dog won't hunt
I've only got two hands
Yeah, and if my Aunt had *alls, she'd be my Uncle.
A few sandwiches short of a picnic
The lights are on, but nobody's home
Oh, get a grip

 

[Sassycakes]

Scare the Living Daylights out of Someone
Out of Sight, Out of Mind

 

[Jackie23]

"Just shoot me".......not funny in today's world.

 

[hearlady]

"Well, that's a sticky wicket! "

 

[bobcat]

Talk to the hand
Barking up the wrong tree
Put a sock in it

 

[CallMeKate]

Oh, for cryin’ in a bucket!
I have never heard that before, but I actually laughed out loud, and I love it.

My daughter taught that one to me and I use it now instead of the "for cryin' out loud" that my mom and grandma said. Besides, sometimes someone would say "cry in silence" so I changed it to the bucket. But there's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza.

 

[Kaila]

Don't burn the candle at both ends.

 

[perplexed]

If you break it you fix it (meaning don't create trouble unless you can correct the situation you created) .
oh lordy!
When we would leave the door open or fridge door open as kids my mama would yell"close the door were you born in a barn lol lol!"

 

[Kaila]

If it's not broke, don't fix it!!!!!

 

[officerripley]

My fave: "I don't know." (A co-worker even had that saying framed & put up over her desk.)

 

[bobcat]

My fave: "I don't know." (A co-worker even had that saying framed & put up over her desk.)

.... and maybe even add: "And I don't care", or maybe even "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"

 

[Flarbalard]

The one I use the most often is, Is it time to go home yet?
My MIL had a nice one, "Mind your own knittin'
My all time favorite first heard as a youngster playing with my friends and was said by one in all earnest, FOLLOW ME My Brother is a Marine.
In my group of friends that became a common saying all through our growing up years.

 

[Dustbunny]

Oh Come On! - The verbal version of rolling your eyes.

 

[Mizmo]

When I was much younger I used to visit an old lady in nursing home who was quite religious and she said she would never take the Lord's name in vain so her expression for anything that was amiss
was 'Oh my godfather!'
... and I have used it ever since.

 

[Born_To_Lose]

“Watch your back, but never look back.”

 

[Della]

My fave: "I don't know." (A co-worker even had that saying framed & put up over her desk.)

My co-worker had a sign that said, "Lack of organization on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part." I loved that because we opened at 7 AM and every customer we had wanted to rush us through our work because they were "running late."

I used to tell my husband, 'Did you want that now, or do you want to wait 'til you get it?'

 

[caroln]

M.Y.O.B. (mind your own business)
One beer short of a six pack.

 

[Lilac]

Suck it up, Cupcake.
Useless as t!ts on a boar hog.
Now, that's the bomb!

 

[ronaldj]

what ever it takes and see ya when I see ya.
also when my grandchildren are helping me with something they say I say, wait just one more thing.

 

[Dustbunny]

wait just one more thing.

Did they get that from watching "Columbo"?
