Stuff people say

[greyhorsewoman]

A good friend used to say every time we had issues getting everything together to get out the door ... "we're off like a herd of turtles"

Growing up in PA Dutch country, we always 'redded' up the house (cleaned it). With my children, I used to ask help in 'redding up the house' on Saturday before they headed out with their friends. We lived in NC at the time and finally one of my daughter's friends couldn't stand it any more and asked 'why we paint stuff red every weekend.'

I just heard that the other day!!! I guess the confused look on my face told them I didn't know what the heck they were saying!

Was gonna add the dead as a doornail but someone beat me to it.

Call me butta I'm on a roll.
Don't let the door knob hit ya.....
If I knew better I would do better.
Not the sharpest pencil in the box.
If the shoe fits......

Nuttier than a pet 'coon.

Madder than a hornet.

Happier than a pig in slop.

"Oh, for the love of banties!" This is usually said as I am running out the door to make my siblings quit fighting. Sometimes 'banties' is changed to a different breed, usually seramas (

Firefox doesn't think it's a word!! For the love of cochins!) or cochins or Orpingtons.

My Dad would always tell us to "use your head for more than a hatrack", and "everything after "but" is bull****".

When trying to encourage visitors to leave:
Here's your hat. What's your hurry?

one of my favorites my husband says is "if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their butt".

My dad used to always say, "Alive and kicking" When asked how he was. His health was bad for a long time, but I am sure he was one of the nurses fav. cause of his "Alive and kicking attitude. We put it on his gravestone, I can picture him up in heven smiling every time someone reads it.
