My children never got my expressions.. I am by my fathers admission a "Michigander"... he and all my family were Southern born and raised... in Tennesse....

I am always saying, "Lord have mercy" or "Dad blame it" or Dag Nabbit"... I don't know if it is habit or what... but it is just me... but I do think it is a lot better than some of the other phrases I have heard...

I grew up in Minnesota...married a guy from South Georgia...my mil just about killed me one noon standing at the gas stove frying egg plant in bacon fat...it was spattering all over the place and she said, "Lawdy, it's spatrin' like a cow peein' on a flat rock." It took some time to get up off the floor after that one and a whole lot more time to get past the language barrier...
