My Granny use to tell me, "Purdy is as purdy does". Never could figure that out unless it had something to do with me showing my butt now and then as a kid. She would bribe me with a quarter(lot of money then) and tell me if I'd be a "purdy boy" she'd give me a quarter. Guess who was always sweet?
I seem to be the one with sayings in our house,maybe 'cos I'm old :lol:
Anything going fast was like "Shit off a shiny shovel"
If there was an overuse of perfume then "It smells like a Bombay brothel in here" (don't ask)
And being a Cornishman whenever I am asked to do a job around the house then "ok I'll do un dreckly"

When I would say "If" too much, my Dad would say "If your ass was a popcorn popper, we'd all be rich."
I'm sure it came from Granddad.
Another classic is "that, makes my asshole crave buttermilk"......I have no idea what it means, but I uses it to this day.

These are great! My mom said "Snowballs chance in hell" a lot. Also when I'd ask for something "people in hell want ice water, you gonna build a pipeline?" If we got hurt it was "No blood, no sympathy".
My Dad would always say if my brother or I got hurt "suck it up buttercup" or "its all fun and games till someone loses an eye...then its hockey, get me my stick!"
My mother to this day whenever she's watching the news and gets disgusted or pissed off at the world affairs all she says is fuck the French and turns the tv to home and garden....
Another one is if I or my siblings had a cut she would ask if it was broken, if not she would say quit yo' bitchin' then!
My dads most used phrase, well ain't that the shit and fuck em usually used when we are fly dishing and some shit heads are sprinting down to our fishing spot

One of my old football coaches
"Get up son, your killing my grass!!!!"
"Knock his dick in the dirt!!!!"
If it was storming and we saw lightning he would say "I don't see anything. Get some eye drops after practice. You are blinking too much." because he didn't want to stop practice.

She looks like death warmed over. (Mother about someone who looked peaked.)
That's slicker 'n snot on a doorknob! (Father about anything that worked well.)
That lasted about as long as Pat stayed in the army. (Father about something not enduring.)

There were many sayings in my family concerning me as an individual. The two that I heard all the time was, one from my Mother, she would say; "You don't have the good sense to wipe your own ass" which was understandable, because she was the one who washed my clothes. :crying:
The other wording was from my Father, who informed me regularly that I didn't have sense enough to pour piss out of a boot, which sometimes puzzled me, because when he said that to me, I was thinking, why would I piss in my boot. :crazy:
Another one from my Father, was "it's colder than a frogs ass" He actually said this to a waitress one time when she asked how his food was, My mother didn't find that as amusing as I did. I asked my Father how cold was a frogs butt, and he would point out the pissing in the boot thing to me. :|

Me and my dad have taken to saying "What the fuck is brunch?" in a cockney accent. Its a quote from the show Misfits, which we really like. It doesn't mean anything, it's just something we say randomly.
