What the old folks used to say........

[papaOU]

Heard a new one:

That really jars my apple-butter!

[sam greenroyd]

He inherited that money and just hooped it off.

[Generals64]

I'll be D@#$&d:....that 20 bags of Groceries cost $20.00......Haven't heard that one in a while....and, I can't believe Gas is .30 cents a gallon for that cheap regular Stuff......

[corpsman]

You ain't got the sense God gave a fence post

You do that again and I'll whale the tar out of you

"Be careful who you ride with".......What?????Today it would be "Hey, watch out for strangers....DON'T get in a car with someone you don't know and DO NOT attempt to "Hitch" a ride.....I don't know how many times we would "Hitch" a ride to the Chieftain Theater.......Never knew any of the people we rode with...

"Be careful who you ride with"... What? Today it would be "Hey, watch out
for strangers... DON'T get in a car with someone you don't know and DO NOT
attempt to "Hitch" a ride... I don't know how many times we would "Hitch" a
ride to the Chieftain Theater... Never knew any of the people we rode with...

Hitching a ride to Tulsa was a normal thing to do. We'd stand at the turnpike
gate, that's where the trolls would sit, and wait... and wait... and wait...
Maybe a shave and a haircut would have helped.

Come to think of it, the hippies normally took Route 66. So why would we
wait at the gate?

[papaOU]

My best friend and his bride hitched for Ok to and around Colorado.

When we were kids we would often hitch to get around.

[gen70]

I once hitched from just north of Philly to Albany Ga.. Was one hell of an adventure.

Bet it was. I thought about doing something like that once but got a hitch in my gitalong and couldn't.

This "Off Subject (Topic)"....But, as a little kid i always wanted to "Hop a Freight"......Big Sissy though.....I didn't know how to read a map and I was afraid I'd not get home for Supper....

Is a pig's a$$ pork?

When pigs' fly........
Green apple two step

When Grandpa couldn't keep up with the grandkids it was because he had a hitch in his gitalong and couldn't move as fast as he use ta could.

We used to watch the Hobo's on the trains. Some would be lying on the
springs under the car! That was so cool.

My parents were a generation older than most other kids my age. For reference, my grandparents (no greats..) were born in the 1870s and 80s, and my dad (b. 1902), grew up with two former Confederate soldiers living with them. (I'm 48, for actuarial purposes).

Some that I remember (and scratch my head over)...

"since who flung the chunk", apparently implying a long period of time

"sky west and a-windin' " some sort of directional comment with a high velocity component, perhaps?

"I got my tongue wrapped around my eye teeth and couldn't see what I was sayin' "

I have to say, however, that the hands down winner that left me stunned to silence was when my late mother, then in her early 70s, on a trip to the grocery store, said, upon watching a woman in an exceedingly short skirt and uh...'exotically sparse' undergarments bend over to pick something up:

"Here it is Christmas already and me with no pies baked."

My grandfather always wore a cowboy hat and one day we went into the country store and a man my grandfather knew said "well looky there a cowboy with no cows". My grandfather's reply was "well looky there a horses ass with no horses".

On the same as the CSA vets above:

I got my tongue in front of my eye tooth and could not see what I was sayin'

Straighten up or I'll slap you so hard you're Grandkids will feel it...

Go and pick me out a GOOD Switch???? How dumb were we to do it????the little tiny ones really hurt worse than the big clubs....remember that kids....

The looong walk to pick out a switch for my Mom or Grandma...almost worse than getting swatted.

I'm just remembering TV show phrases right now...
"Well I'll be a blue-nosed gopher"
"You're cuter than a bug's ear"

[papaOU]

Grandma used to complain, your just all up in (en) under my feet

I'll put you under a wash tub and put a rock on you
