| I told a young person once, "You're as sharp as a marble!" The fact that it was taken as a compliment made the point even more clear! |

| If it ain't one damn thing it's two damn things. That and a buck'll get you a coffee. You and what army? Who died and made you the boss? A fool's got a beautiful world. Dumb as bugs, dumb as a bucket of rocks, dumb as a box of hammers. Two sandwiches short of a picnic. Ninepence to the shilling. Not wrapped too tight. Not playing with a full deck. If it was raining soup he'd be standing there with a fork. When his ship comes in he'll be at the airport. About "Uff da" -- According to one edition of Red Stagland's book of Norwegian jokes, "Uff da" expresses one's feelings on dropping a sack of garbage; "fy da" or "fee da", getting one's hand in it. The Meaning of Uff Da Adapted from a postcard from Bergquist Scandinavian Imports UFF DA IS: * trying to dance the polka to rock and roll music * losing your wad of gum in the chicken yard * having Swedish meat balls at a lutefisk supper * walking downtown and then wondering what you wanted * arriving late at a lutefisk supper and getting served minced ham instead * looking in the mirror and discovering you're not getting better, just older * trying to pour two buckets of manure into one bucket * having a mouse crawl up your leg when you're on a hayload * eating hot soup when you've got a runny nose * getting out of bed in the morning with a backache * getting swished in the face with a cow's wet tail * waking yourself up in church with your own snoring * forgetting your mother-in-law's first name * when two steady girl friends find out about each other * noticing non-Norwegians at a church dinner using lefse for a napkin * eating a delicious sandwich and then discovering the spread is cat food * sneezing so hard your false teeth end up in the bread plate So, OK, I think I got it -- Uff da is Norwegian for "Oy vey"! Sorry for the digression -- this was really fun. |

| -Ya you betcha, eh -Yooper -God Rules!-had this as a bumper sticker -Couple of french fires short of a happy meal -More air-which means you are standing too bloody close to me -I must hurry and catch up with the others for I am their leader! and my favorite one which is in my tag line but in its original form its- Don't let the bastards get you down!! |

| When in high school, my wife and her cousin wrecked the cousin's brother's car. The cousin's mother then uttered what I've since adopted for almost all situations. "It wouldn't a happened if you'd a kept your ass at home to start with." |

| My daughter drew me a "cartoon" picture of an elephant spread on the ground with a dozen turkeys standing on its trunk, head and back. The caption was, "DON'T LET THE TURKEYS GET YOU DOWN!" I think that is my favorite saying, though I have several. Slàinte, Patch |

| Another goes back to President Harry Truman's administration. I remember it as a child as it was the first time I remember adults swearing around me. The saying was "give em hell Harry!" That was probably what started me on the road to the development of a fine vocabulary of curse words. Slàinte, Patch |

| My motto: If it ain't written down, it doesn't exist. (because of my bad memory and difficulty processing verbal input) Also: If it ain't broke, don't fix it--one of my Da's favorites. Whatever--used when I say something scrambled and can't figure out how to fix it. Tant pis--French for too bad Trop tard--French for too late Oh, weel. |
| Posted by: stevenpd 19-Aug-2008, 02:59 PM |
| C'est la guerre: Literally: "It's the war!" This French phrase of resignation gained widespread use during World War II. It provided the universal excuse for everything that was broken, no longer functioned, was unavailable or could not be accomplished. It also explained away all unusual behavior. That it is in the language of a nation whose life and joie de vivre was being crushed by an occupational army gives it an aroused sensibility. The phrase lingered into European reconstruction and then into modern times in all nations. It is spoken with a wry acknowledgement of its former literal meaning even though it may currently describe any other interfering force preventing accomplishment of a task, even laziness. |

| I'm glad to see other potty sayings because the phrase I am known for beyond any other (and also my life's motto) is "Shite or get off the pot." Learned it from my grandpa, who was also not a patient man or fond of dramatic deliberations. My husband says that he is going to put it on my gravestone, which I would be half-inclined to believe were we not being cremated.  |

| And your telling me this because?. or Do I really look like I care!. |
| Posted by: InRi 16-Mar-2009, 01:05 PM |
| Two of my favorites: "Lord, bash brain from heaven!" - self-explanatory "Listen, in China has farted someone" - if someone try to tell me a bullshit and I'm not interested to listen that. Usually I use a lot of wordplays, double entendres or distortion of words in German language for a good saying - but if you try to ranslate this, the pointe disappears... Ingo |
| Posted by: Antonio 16-Mar-2009, 08:44 PM |
| When asked how your doing - Why I'm as fine as frogs hair split three ways. |
| Posted by: Camac 17-Mar-2009, 08:13 AM |
| Antonio; When I'm asked "How are you doing" I answer with to words 'STILL BREATHING". Camac. |
| Posted by: Antonio 21-Mar-2009, 09:31 AM |
| Camac, thats another good one I us also. How about when something goes wrong " Well there ya go " |
| Posted by: Camac 21-Mar-2009, 09:40 AM |
| Antonio; If something goes wrong I usually just say  . If someone is in a foul mood I usually ask "Who p---ed in your cornflakes"? If I am really annoyed with some one I tell them to "Eat s--t and die."Camac |
| Posted by: Antonio 21-Mar-2009, 10:01 AM |
| Camac, yes those are all well used. My Grandpa's favorite saying when ask how he was " Well I got up this morning I checked the Obituary my name wasn't there, so I put on my pants and went to work ". I love that one so much I use it. |
| Posted by: Camac 21-Mar-2009, 10:45 AM |
| Antonio; If someone is being especially snobbish or obnoxious I say "who died and made you King/Queen" Camac. |

| Dogshirt; Once years ago when I was on a service call to a Meat Packing Plant and we were outside having lunch, one of the workers must have been making racy remarks about some women sitting near by because I heard another guy say "Jeez will you get yer Brains outta yer B--ls." I rather liked that one at the time. Camac. |
| Posted by: Antonio 22-Mar-2009, 10:40 AM |
| How about " Get in, shut up and hold on " |
| Posted by: Camac 22-Mar-2009, 11:24 AM |
| Antonio; When I am really peed off at someone and tempers flare I revert to "F@*&^ you and the Horse you rode in on" Camac. |
| Posted by: Antonio 22-Mar-2009, 11:59 AM |
| Heard it many times This one really bothers me, it's my favorite to hate - " Come on your not that Stupid ". Now am I stupid? or did someone just say, that your stupid to some degree?. If you say don't call me stupid, they will always say I didn't call you stupid. Hmmmmmm  |
| Posted by: Leelee 22-Mar-2009, 12:48 PM |

| ^ That one is close to my favorite "Aging is mandatory, but maturing is optional!" Directed at my husband quite often: "The hole in the backyard is getting bigger" (my personal threat to him...they'll never find the body haha) "If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you" |
| Posted by: Antonio 31-Jan-2012, 12:58 PM |

These are so entertaining! At present, my favorite sayings are "If brains were leather, he wouldn't have enough to saddle a junebug" and "He's busier than a one-legged man at a butt-kicking contest!" (as told to me by a one-legged man  ) |
| Posted by: surfersully13 07-Apr-2012, 11:46 AM |
| There sure are a lot of ways to express annoyance! Whenever I'm making plans to do anything I say "God willin' & the creek don't rise" |
| Posted by: Copperwood87 07-Apr-2012, 03:03 PM |
| "well, bless his/her/their heart" ..... use as a condolence or insulting someones less than brilliant actions/words. Also love "Good Lord willin' an' the creek don't rise." for making plans........ and lastly "MY momma didn't raise no fool." |
