We as people( or even parents) need to come back at our kids with uncommonly used phrases that will make them speechless,and will walk away for a good time

I use this one on my girls when they get all bossy:

"Is this a dagger which I see before me?"
or

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more

It stops them in their tracks.....then they walk away slowly and avoid making eye contact.............

ok maybe it dont work,but I try.

SMART GUY : How do you crunch numbers?
DUMB GUY: you put them in a bowl,pour in milk and use a spoon

SMART GUY: How do you skin a cat?
DUMB GUY: You take the cat by the tail and rip its skin off

SMART GUY: You cant kill 2 birds with one stone
DUMB GUY: Sure you can,if they are two baby birds and you have a very large stone.

Steeping up to the plate? nope.Id rather get ejected from the game
Have a good one? Yep. just came from the bathroom.
I didnt catch your name. Well then you're lousey at nameball

Love it! Thanks for making me laugh.

How about "My bad"

ETA: Why must everyone bless me when I sneeze?! I'm allergic to anything and everything, and it's really not necessary!

 

[bustermommy]

The "bless you" is from an old superstition. You're expelling bad spirits and the "bless you" is supposed to keep them from going back in. Okay, I admit it, I say it.

Maybe with allergies, we're trying to keep the pollen out?

heard a variation on that... when you sneeze, your soul leaves your body. the "bless you" it to make sure it gets back in.... instead of wandering off, or leaving your body open to posession by evil spirits.

I like Bless You better than gesundheit - basically a command / directive to have good health!
(somehow, I always hear an "or else" on the end of that...)

Hawaii - Im fine thanks
Guam - No thanks it sticks to my teeth
Bora Bora - I cant help it if you're boored
Samoa - No Ive had enough of this!!

Sorry I didnt mean to hijack the thread. Just some random thoughts in my head at work.

I needed to get them on paper so I can move on.

Gibbrish written down.....moving on.

"You cant get blood from a turnip" Then try using a sledgehammer on it.
"Try stretching your dollar" Thats illegal because the dollar says its legal tender,do not alter.
'Dont stretch the truth" why not? I do it all the time,and I even alter the truth on occasion.
"you catch more flies with honey" the idea is to repel flies,not catch them. I can catch them with:

body odor
dead carcase
fly swatter
swampy feet
why even use honey???

Preggers and Preggo... If you are pregnant, you are not preggers, nor are you misspelled store bought spaghetti sauce. It makes me want to... but, what do I know? I was recently informed that my misuse of a word which was even spelled incorrectly was reason enough to have my children removed. (This is where I would normally insert an all caps LOL, but I think I will refrain.) My answer was they can take them if they want to, they will bring them back soon enough.

Ergo really grinds my gears, too.

as well as vacay and hossy. I don't see it here as much, but it was rampant on another forum. Can't people just use the correct words in the proper manner?
