I remember my Dad using terms that I had never heard before. They were often a source of amusement for me and my teen buddies. You know the times when you were cool and your father was just some old guy who lived in your house. He would at times call my sister Gravel Gertie and ask me if I thought I was Joe Palooka. He used the term "swell" an awful lot. List yours. | ||

My dad would say “uglier than home-made sin” and “longer than a month of Sundays.” As I’ve gotten older, I find myself sometimes using some of his old sayings. Then again, I’ve started wearing overalls, so I’m allowed I Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

My dad would use "do you savvy" a lot when he was explaining something or just getting on my ass. Later on, I caught myself using it with my kids! Sigs P-220, P-226 9mm, & P-230SL (CCW) | |||

Uglier than a mud fence. Crooked as a dog's hind leg. She's so ugly, can eat corn on the cobb through a split rail fence. Close enough for government work. Broad is so tough, she frys bacon with her shirt off.

None of them are outdated, I use them on my kids! Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||

My goodness! I thought there'd be some really old sayings here. But, no, they're the same stuff I say and still say today. I thought about it for a minute, then, demonstrating my mind being like a steel trap, I realized I'm older than most of your dads and probably the same age as your grandpas. I didn't see "dumber'n dirt" or "nice shot, Oswald" or several others. Prolly too modern, huh? Bob | |||

Mom raised me and when something stopped working it "conked-out." I still like that term. | |||

“Cold as a well digger’s ass” “Busy as a one armed paper hanger” “That’s cooking with gas” And when teaching me to drive, “Having the right of way doesn’t do you any good if you’re dead”. Not sure those are outdated, though. | |||
