My mother-in-law used to shout, "CRIMINITLY" whenever she got upset about something. One day my daughter asked my why Grandma W was always hollering about Crime in Italy.

I always heard "full of piss and vinegar" used as meaning someone is teasing and playful. Perhaps sarcastic. Goofing off almost to the point of annoyance. (but then, I'm from Montaaaaana.) <grin>

My father used to be a jokester. He used to think he was funny when he would say "Pee well -- and often" instead of "Be Well" when saying goodbye. I have no idea of why. God I miss him sooo much, he always had a smile on his face.

I love this thread! When telling someone to grow up or deal with something: "Put on your big girl panties" When burping after dinner: "Not bad manners, just good food" After giving a compliment to someone who tries to brush it away: "No brag. Just fact."

My grandmother was able to make her ear lobes wiggle. After which she would always explain... "Any Jackass can."

when kids can't sit still: What's the matter? You got ants in your pants? or when someone was in a hurry: What's the matter? Are your britches on fire?

A family friend loves to tell new mothers that you spend the first 2 years of a kid's life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 20 telling them to sit down and shut up!

"you oughta sue the city for building the sidewalk too close to your ass" "he can eat crackers in my bed anytime" my grandparents had 10 children, most of whom had at least half a dozen of their own. there was always bound to be something left behind when any family visited the grandparents' house. my grandma used to say "have a safe trip" and my granpda would say, "we'll start shipping in the morning".

If we weren't satisfied with something my Dad would say..."What do you want? Egg in your beer?"

If I was happy about something and trying to flaunt it, my father would ask me, "Would you like a medal or a chest to pin it on?"

LOL, Karen - your dad sounds alot like my dad. Whenever anyone points out to my dad that he has no hair on his chest, Dad tells them "grass doesn't grow on a playground."

I still say "well, slap my hand!" It has a long "you would have to have been there" story. And I seem to ramble too much these days. lol

Oldtex, That "slap my hand" reminded me of my great-grandmother who was about 90 when my ds was just learning to "give me five". We were laughing and showing Nannie how cute it was but she never did get the "give me five" she always told him to "slap my hand". LOL

Jmm, I think you are only one of a very few people I know who remembers their great-grandmothers! I lost my great-grandmother when I was 14 yrs old, but oh God, did I love her. She was a widow and lived with her only child, my sweet grandmother (also now deceased). They acted like sisters together. I am the only daughter of an only daughter...they really spoiled me. lol Thanks for jogging my memory. Slapping my hand came from a supervisor I once had, sweet woman, and if you made a mistake thay only she could fix, go to her desk, hold out your hand, and she knew exactally what to do. She knew no one was perfect, and appreciated letting her know of the correctable mistake before it got passed on to others. Best supervisor I ever had. Here I go rambling again...thanks for listening!

LOL Oldtex, I love that and I'll have to remember it for my boss. I was fortunate in that I knew 2 great-grandmothers (one lived to 98 and the other to 103, both died about 7 years ago) and one of my great-grandfathers. Heck I even have vague memories of my great-great-grandmother (was 106 when she died) with her corncob pipe. Guess it's that good old Kentucky stock. LOL

Jmm, WoW you are bound for a long life. Most of my great, grand and parents departed this life in their 80's or 90's. I hope I'm that lucky. Come to think of it, my Mother is a great-grand mother! My Mom is deep, very deep, into genaology (sp) and has traced lineage back to the 1300's. Her great-grandparents came from Tennessee...is that close enough to old Kentucky stock? If your boss has as good a sense of humor as mine, hope your boss goes for it! I'm getting sleepy and can't type...think my bed is calling.

jmm, you post is similar to this: my 86 year old mom said this to me a few days ago (we were talking on the phone): "well, you know what they say....once you're over the hill, you speed up". lol

when you want someone to hurry up: get cracking! when someone is grumpy: who licked the stripes off their candy? or who licked the candy off their apple?
