    Are there any sayings you use that people find hilarious or wonder what they mean?

    I always say "Fuck me 12 ways til Tuesday"   I have no idea what it means but I say it all the time. My kids always ask me and I just tell em Who the hell knows, I just like to say it.

    I also tell my kids "If you don't want to shit out your teeth tomorrow you better watch how you speak to me today"  They know what that one means, thats for damn sure.

    Bahaha! I like the teeth-shitting. Very funny and effective!


    I have one similar to the first..... "Fuck me up the wall and down again".
    or "No shit, Sherlock, let me jot that down in my notebook!" I am heavily sarcastic. DH loves it. NOT.

    "When you lay down with dogs, expect to get up with fleas" has become a personal favorite lately pertaining to a few family members. 


    When someone says something out of the blue for no reason "What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China?" Scared a few classmates with that one once.

    I'm going to start using "bath salts" in place of PTSD... "Hey man don't get all bath salts psycho on me, my face is to pretty for that shit".

    Also "some one messed up your ass when they put a set of teeth on it" old redneck I worked with
    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone, You shine it when I'm alone. And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
    And dreaming when they're gone.

    "fuck a duck " we shorten it to just duck when kids are around.
    " he/she is a PITA. Pain in the ass.
    We don't curse that much lol. My DS the other day said , when we got cut off in traffic, that guy is a word I can't say!!! I had to ask him what that word would be, he wouldn't get in trouble. He said : idiot. =)) Ok maybe I shelter them a bit.

    LOL thats awesome @momofdbb My kids have heard it all, I talk like a freakin sailor. My husband hardly swears. Someone will curse in front of my kids and apologize and their go to answer is "Have you met my mom, there is nothing you could say that she hasn't said" Sometimes its a bit embarassing but most of the time I embrass it. :)

    I just was expecting something a bit stronger he is 12 ! My mom just didn't like it when we cursed so we came up with different ways. We say cotton picking, chicken plucker , monkey breath.
    Other odd sayings include " as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs" when it gets cold it can be " colder than a witches tit" "'not the brightest bulb in the drawer " " not playing with a full deck" " a nominine for a Darwin award"

    Fuck beans. This is said when something doesn't go right. What in the actual fuck? Makes NO sense and is said when something else makes so little sense that WTF? Isn't enough. Fuckery, douchebaggery, when people do stupid shit. I.e.: getting back with your baby daddy after his fifth jail stent for domestic violence. That is fuckery. Bite my ass has replaced kiss my ass. So many more. Professor and I have our own language and code we speak in.

    My grandfather, rest in peace, used to say he was busier than a one handed paper hanger. When I tell my husband that I or our kids want something, he says "I want a million dollars and a blow job, never gonna happen." If dsd10 asks something w/ an obvious yes answer, I say "does a bear shit in the woods?"

    Arguing w/ a fool is like spitting in the wind. Or when I see my kids trying to do something stupid, I tell them they'd have better luck trying to nail Jello to a tree.

    "Well, smack my ass and call me Katie"  when I'm surprised.

    "I'd rather be fishing"  when I'm bored.

    I also use Kiss my Grits and Holy Hell a lot as well as "shitballs" 

    I've also noticed that recently I've sometimes taken to telling the kids "pig shit and gravy" when they ask me what's for supper - I guess I inherited that from my Stepdad...and I don't even like saying it, but I can't seem to help it when I'm annoyed.

    "Well Hell's bells..."
    "Six of this and half a dozen of that..."
    "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on."
    "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades."
    "If it had teeth it'd jump up and bite me."
    "Chill out, cub scout..." (Many time daily to DS2)
    "The road to hell is paved in good intentions..."
    "(long pause) No." Often said when DH asks me a question like, "Can you unlock your car for me?" "No. (snickers)"
    "That'll go over like a lead balloon..."
    "Stand up, it went over your head..." (Often to my sister...she can die her hair brown all she wants, she's a blonde.)

    My nana says "Lord love a duck..." a lot. I find my self saying when exasperated by DS2 and curse words aren't even helping to relive the frustration. LOL

    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

    nobody will wash your face when your dead
    If the wind changes your face will stay that way (both in reference to a grumpy face)

    My fave ones;
    Does the pope shit in the woods/is a bear catholic
    Recently been changed to 'does benji shit in thw woods' because evidentally, he does.

    There's a lot of 'sos your face' in our house (not with benji tho!)

    Cold as a witch's tit (I don't know where this one came from, all the witches I know have tits that are pretty warm LOL, but Papaw used to say it)

    When my answer is 'no', but for some reason, one-word answers don't compute around here:
    I vote no.
    Let's don't, and say we did.

    When you offer my husband ANYTHING, and he doesn't want it, he'll say "No thanks, I'm trying to quit!"
