[Humor] Fun "Home Town" Sayings

And then there's "Cheers"

What's goin' down, Norm?
My butt on this bar stool.

What's shakin', Norm?
Both chins and all four cheeks.
 
I can't believe nobody's pointed out "Come from together" yet. I guess we were waiting for @Clark1961

As a Screecher, here are some Newfie phrases.

"Waddayat?" - What're you up to?
"Dis is it" - Response to the above
"Where ya to?" - Where are you?
"Stay where yous at 'til I comes where ya to" - Wait for me where you are.
"Nice arse, get in da truck" - I love you
"Buddy" - everyone
"Yes b'y!" - Yeah buddy!
"Beer" - Bear
"Beer" - Beer
"Screech" - local rum
"Screecher" - Honorary Newfie

When asked in Newfoundland "Is ye a screecher?" the correct response (if you are one) is "Deed I is me old cock! And long may your big jib draw!"

Perhaps I should bring some Screech to Gaston's and we can do a Screech-in party.
 
From a guy I worked with outta North 'Calinky'
"Grinnin' like a mule eatin' sawbriars"
"Ugly enough to eat corn through a picket fence"
" Stuck in a corner and fed walnuts with a slingshot"
" Sorer than a cat's p...s"
He would role these out at the proper time in a conversation and never crack a smile.
 
as easy as kickin baby chicks in a creek(pronounced crick)
her face looked like a can of smashed a##holes
crookeder than an old mans d#ck
could eat corn on tha cob without openin her mouth
breath so bad it could knock a buzzard off a sh#t wagon
had summer teeth, some-are here and some-are there

Uff da! Looks like she hit every branch on the way down when she fell out of the ugly tree!

...and of course, speaking of girls & trees, you know there's a pretty girl behind every tree in North Dakota!

Up s*** creek without a paddle.

I grew up with that one but it never made sense to me.

If you're up chit creek without a paddle then it's not a problem. Just let the current take you back down to where you want to go.

Now, OTOH, if you were down chit creek without a paddle, then you'd have problems.

:idea:

:loco:

I grew up in the South. Any soda,pop or any other name for similar soft drink is called a "coke" where I grew up. Every morning all the farmers would meet at the gas station before going out to the fields. Anyone who went to the cooler would always offer everyone else one, it was just common manners. The conversation went like this:

"Anyone want a coke?"
"Yes, I'll take one."
"What kind of coke do you want?"
"Dr. Pepper"

I think I was in San Francisco, walking back to the hotel from Pier 39 or whatever, and I got thirsty.

So I stopped at a little stand and, not seeing any prices, asked the fella "What do you get for a pop?".

He looked at me bewildered. "What now?"

"What do you get for a pop? How much?"

Long stare.

"...like a Pepsi or whatever...?"

"OH a soda, yes, it's blah blah blah..."



It's pop here in MN. You can say soda and nobody will bat an eye, we get it, but most call it pop.

Gotta love drinking out of the mason jars. They have decent sports squads in the area, too, and a scoreboard that can be seen from about 30 miles away. you Aggies would see it more often if you stayed in the BigXII!

"I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love And I have to use the self-service pumps"


Woulda preferred keeping the original SWC.... Kinda hard after over 100 years of tradition to change the horns part of the war hymn from "saw varsity's horns off" to "tusks".
 
She (or he) fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
 
To express surprise, shock, awe, etc:
"Well I WILL be"
"Well I'll swan" or Well I'll swan to goodness"
"I'll be jiggered"
"I'll be switched"
"Good night shirt fact'ry"
"Good gracious"
"Golly bum" pronounces gawww-leee bum
"Gosh all mighty Joe Friday (fry-dee)"
"Holy shamoly"
"Well I'll be a monkey's uncle"
"I'll be dipped"
"Good land o livin"
"Oh my word"
"Lord have mercy" or "Lordy mercy" or "Lawzee"
And last but not least, from Snagglepuss: "Heavens to Murgatroyd"



"Sweatin' like a whore in church"
"Useless/worthless as tits on a boar hog"
"Luckier than a two peckered billy goat"
"Handy as a pocket on a shirt"
"Drunker than ol' Cooter Brown"
"Hotter'n the blazes" or "hotter'n tha blue blazes"


To ask if one approves - "How's that grab ya?" Proper reply - "like a new pair of pliers"

When asked how you're doing today:
"Fine and Jim Dandy"
"Any better and I couldn't stand it"
"Fine as frog hair"

This one was actually told by another pilot (with my wife present):

Women are like parking spaces. The good ones are all taken and the rest are handicapped.
 
My mom's favorite saying when something went wrong:

Well damn it to hell anyway.

When we're flying in turbulence, a student of mine likes to remark, "It's rougher than a stucco bathtub!"

My grandpa used to say:

  • Rougher than a (corn) cob
  • Dumber than a stump
  • Tighter than a gnats ass stretched over a rain barrel

Sweating like Michael Jackson at a Cub Scout meeting.
Sweating like a queer at a wienie roast. I know that's not politically correct, sue me!
And of course GO DAWGS!!

I used to work with a hayseed who's favorite saying was, "Well, it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!" You could usually count on him saying that at least once an hour.

One of my dad's favorites and he was born and raised in Ireland, of course 50 years in Georgia has given him some fresh sayings. :)

And he always told me he wasn't born, but instead "a bird **** on a stump and the sun hatched me out!"
 
How's life treating you? Like a baby treats a diaper.
 
When I was in Scotland many years ago, I bought some souvenirs for my kids. For one of them I got a soccer jersey from a Scottish Premier Leage team, Rangers I think. I wasn't sure of the size, so I exchanged it the next day for the next size up. The cashier was nice and helpful, "I'll do this, and this, and this, here you are, and Bob's your uncle!"

I don't have an uncle Bob, but that's apparently the equivalent of "easy peasy".

My wife has some rather senior volunteers. One when you asked how he was doing, he'd put two fingers to his throat to check his pulse and after a second say ... "Good."
 
Can't take credit for this one. It comes from a co-worker who studied in Georgia. Sorry, that should be "Jaaaaaja". :)

Typical question and answer he'd hear around lunch time would be:
"Jeet?"
"Nah"
"Squeet!"

translated into English:
"Did you eat?"
"No"
"Let's go eat!"

(try to say them very fast a few times, in a sah-thern accent)
 
Squeet is the release command for my dog once the food bowl is on the floor.

But that pales to master Dog Trainer @timwinters using ATC instructions as dog commands during feeding time. (there is a video somewhere of this)
 
For don't go yet, "before you beat cheeks to the sunset..."
 
A face that'd make a train take a dirt road
A face made for radio
Dumber than a box of rocks

And, my great Aunt Annie, from deep in Appalachia, God bless her soul:

"He doesn't know good sh*t from apple butter"

And, for Texas; Baja Oklahoma
 
Dumber than a bag of hammers.

He's reached rock bottom and has begun to dig.
 
One of mom's:

He'll never have a pot to pizz in or a window to throw it out of.
