Do you have weird saying?

[lulubelle]

From these boards...I swear I got it from here...BLECH! But I pronounce it BLECK! Is that right? My family is like "BLECK?? Where did you get that word? That is not a word!" and I respond "Of course it is a word, I got it from the DIZ boards". Whenever I talk about something I do not like I use it. Hummmmm. I also use the word skeench. You know, put a "it needs a skeench of salt". They know what I mean. And to the original OP, I need some pixie dust for parking my Mercedes. I seem to never have any I get cut off all the time.

"what a pip!!" (used when DD#1 does something funny)My dh's mom uses this and he been using it also!! AHHHHH!!
What the hell is a pip? All I know is the 3 Stooges did a whole thing on a pip and never got to the bottom of it!!
WHAT IS A PIP??

DH also has said, "the cat's pajamas." ***? HUH? WHAT??? I'm confused. I was told it was from the 20's but huh?

My best friend says it and it drives me nuts: "Your the bomb dot com!" It really gets under my skin!

My catch phrase lately has been, "Son of a building block!"

I see said the blind man

I got this one from my father and use it when i don't understand something.

Thrase about the cats pajamas was a british expression from the 20's and a pip is a seed from an apple.

DH explained the whole "pip" thing and the whole "cat's pajamas" thing but I still don't get it. WHO would use these today? It just cracks me up!!

He/she thinks they're all that and a bag of chips!

"Close only counts in horse shoes and hand granades."
"If the dog hadn't stopped to pee he would have caught the rabbit."

These are two my dad always said whenever any of us started a sentence with "if" or "I was close", and for years I followed his example. Now, even though I don't say these fun little catch phrases, it is inevitable that the minute I hear someone say "it was close" or start a sentence with "well, if I", these phrases jump to the tip of my tongue automatically, but I am usually able to restrain myself.

In the middle of a situation I say

"you can't drain the swamp when you are up to your @$& in alligators

 

[wdwmom2]

When my kids ask for something that is either unreasonable or the answer is no, I say " I'll get right on that". They just roll their eyes .

 

[nativetxn]

"It's generic." My sister meant to say "It's genetic" but said generic instead. We say it all the time now

*inserting names w/ explanaion below*

"Scott's butt would make Mark a Sunday face!"

I picked this up from my grandmother. When she is describing someone ugly (Mark) she will say this. Scott is nice looking, so therefore, "Scott's butt would make Mark a Sunday face." Make sense?

 

[xCourxCorex]

I tell my best friend "Good night Danish" all the time.
I guess it started one night when we were making fun of lovey-dovey kids that say things like "Goodnight, cupcake" or "Sweet dreams, pumpkin" so we started using "danish" to be different

My friend and I say "Well, sh** on a bullfrog"

my father used to say "Your grandma was slow, but she was old"

My husband says "But if it had worked, you'd be drinking hot chocolate right now!"

Explaination on that one --- he loved hot chocolate when we were first married and I thought I might be able to make it in the coffee maker faster. I know, I know what was I thinking. The mix got all clumped up in the fliter and there was water all over the counter ... huge mess.

He teased me and I got mad and yelled "But if it had worked, you'd be drinking hot chocolate right now!"

Now he says it when ever we try something that doesn't quite work out.

 

[trappednabox]

I love to tell my best friend he's so ugly he makes all the puppys and the baby jesus cry. I have no idea where I got that from but I love to tell him that

 

[Snowysmom]

Whenever I see someone doing something really stupid, I'll say, Darwin's at work. I also call my dog a pipperino when she won't listen to me. It is a takeoff on you're a pip. I love all the old, colorful sayings my parents and grandparents used.

 

[Mysteria]

In those moments when someone is whining about something they shouldn't be whining about we'd say...Aww my heart bleeds pink panther p**s for you. lol I have no idea where it came from. Got it from my mother.

Myst

 

[Blondy876]

When my older dd and I get home from anywhere I say "Home again, home again" and she says "Jiggidy jig". I don't remember where we got it from but we do it all the time.

My co-worker once told me a story, that she was driving around with her grandpa. Some young kids were honking their horns and getting frustrated at grandpa's slow driving. So when the kids passed him, he rolled down the window and screamed at them, "You'll be old too someday!"

It was kinda sad and funny at the same time. So now, whenever my DF gets frustrated behind a slow driver, I tell him (in an old grampa voice)..."You'll be old too someday!" and he says the same thing to me. We kinda laugh and stop to remember that it's true and we need to be more patient.
