I love some of the sayings, adages and phrases, that people in all walks of use to say and still say.
Some of you may remember or heard of some, or most of them.
Snug as a bug in a rug.
Don’t let the bed bugs bite you.
The bees knees.
The cat’s meow.
Knockers up.
Tits up.
Fell ass over tea kettle.
Shake a leg.
Break a leg.
Well blow me down.
By jimminy.
Bottoms up.
Smell a rat.
Well I’ll be dipped in shit.
It sucks big time.
Shit or get off the pot.
Shake that booty.
Full of piss and vinegar.
Life is like a bowl of cherries.
Well I’ll be damned.
No shit.
Dressed to the nines.
Fly like an eagle.
Come up for air.
I’m sure there are plenty more of them.
Maybe some of you fine people out there can think and/or come up with.

Mind your P’s and Q’s. My mother’s favorite…yup, she’s irish. I even know what it means. I’m sure you do too so I’ll skip the explanations.

I’ve used quite a few of these! And “Shit fire and save matches,” (Don’t ask me what it means – it comes from my West Virginia grand-parents, long dead). “Catch you on the flip side,” (Old CB radio jargon). “All assholes and elbows,” (the view of scared people running away). Of course, “Bless your/his/her heart,” (polite way of calling someone a total idiot). I should stop now – I could go on-and-on! Fun post 🙂 Peace . . .

I love idiomatic expressions…my grandchildren laugh with the ones that come out of my mouth, such as, “well, that’s a horse of a different color!”….they laughed and laughed! Great posting!
