Funny/weird expressions/sayings by people you know!


Quote  |  Reply
We all have them, we all have people who say them.

"Holy shitake mushrooms!"

"Son of a biscuit eater!"

"What a f***tard!"  <---I'll admit that one's mine.  LOL.

Different areas of North America (and the world!) have different expressions/sayings. 

I would LOVE to hear some!!  C'mon, people.  Have pity on a single Mom home YET AGAIN on a Friday night.

:oD

All the people who've worked in restaurants should recognize this one...

"I'm in the weeds!"

For you non-servers, cooks, hostesses, etc., it's a way of saying that you're swamped.  We still use it at the job I'm at now, even though it's technically retail.
When something is funny but not funny enough to laugh me and my frends say "laughing"
In my family we say "Nighty, night rabbit", from the Bugs Bunny cartoon when one of Bugs's foes is trying to do him in.

We call each other "Sugar-booger" from a sit-com, can't remember which one right now.

When we are going to do something fast it is "like a turd of hurdles".

And, "Son of a bean farmer!"

This is a cute topic and I'm getting a kick out of reading all the posts.

In my family, when my mother couldn't get to something right away, she'd say, "Give me a little minute". I never thought anything of it until one of my kid's friends asked me how was a little minute different than a regular one?

If supper was going to be leftovers, which it was once a week because we let things build up, we'd say, "We're having musgo (must go) for supper". My husband calls it "Cream of Bottom Shelf".

And my daughter used to hate to say mean things when she was little and if a kid was acting stupid, she'd say he wasn't very "brainful". I thought it was cute, and we say that now instead of saying someone is an idiot.

 

 

We say

What in the ham sandwich... are you doing?... is goin on?...etc.

:)
Sugar Booger - Jimmy Neutron!! :)
"Happier than a 'possum at poke berry time.."
also...'F-Tard'...and my own variation  'D-Tard'... hee hee....
We created our own language I guess! 

"sh**F*** I made a mistake" is my personal favorite for when I mess something up- I think it's a blink 182 song maybe?

clusterf*** when there is a swarm of people you can't get through like in the mall

Son of a Nutcracker - from Elf

We also tend to shorten words cuz we're lazy, see I just did it!

tar- retard/retarded "you're such a tar" 

redic- rediculous  "that's redic"
If there was a car that drove by with the bass on really high or had loud, obnoxious music on, my dad would say "RS Club!"  Meaning Rude Sh*t club.
Sweak - One of my favorite words.  If something has good bits and bad bits, it's sweak.  Cuz it's a little sweet, and a little weak.

Fanoink!  -- That one just ... cuz.  Doesn't really mean anything.

I, too, have said f***tard for many years.

"What is this, amateur hour?" -- when someone (including myself)screws something up; said very haughtily (but always in jest) and with a faux british accent.  :-)

For the love of Jim Croce! -- Again ... don't know why.

A new one - Frak.

There's more, I'm sure ...
There are two I use all the time:

"Mad as a bag of badgers" (to describe someone who is a bit mental) and;

"I'm not as green as I am cabbage looking" (i.e. I'm not as stupid as i look).

My boyfriend has started saying the latter...every time he does it it cracks me up cause he looks just like his Mum when he says it!


I like this thread. :)

slittle, I say a variation on your racehorse one "ok, I've gotta p*** like a racehorse".

One that has come up today a lot for me (I was up until 2 doing physics homework) is "I'm munted today". It's a down under thing that basically means I am completely exhausted.

"Mad as a brick" (crazy) is another one I use a lot, also "thick as a plank" (stupid). 

"Flip you melon farmer" and "yippiekiyay Mr. Falcon" come from watching Die Hard on TBS. 

Does anyone know where "what the Sam Hill?" came from? Because I say it a lot, and I don't know who Sam Hill is, and why I question him all the time. 

I use the term "d*ck flick" to counter the term "chick flick".  Basically a D.F. is any movie that clearly suffers from testosterone poisoning... and there's a lot of them. 
I have also been known to use the phrase "come like a banshee". ;)

(OK, that might have been TMI).
"Merrr." - Basically telling someone their whiny.

"Don't poke the bear." - means if someones in a bad mood, don't provoke them.

"eh" - basically the most versatile word in the world. Can go anywhere from meaning "hey, what's happening", a confimation or a threat "I'll bite your nose right hard, eh?"
How about "sweating like a whore in church" and "going to jump in the shower, fight dirt with water!"
trustwomen, I love the opposite of chick flick.  That's awesome.  Very inventive... d*ck flick.  Great.

When I was younger and my sisters and I asked my mom what was for dinner, my mom would say "crabs and icewater".

At a birthday party my mom was cutting a cake and all the kids were being typical kids and asking for specific pieces of the cake. "I want the flower!", "I want the corner!"  My mom got so frustrated and says "I'm not cutting the cake into smitherines!" 

my sister says snoogies if she burps instead of excuse me. (even though shes 23) 

And she says crunchewy to describe something thats crunchy and chewy all at once. 

Somehow, she came up with gurky.  Gurky is cat throw up. 

Also her comebacks are great!  If I said "That was a really crappy movie.", she would say, "You're a really crappy movie."

"Tougher 'n woodpecker lips" = my mantra.

Lost as last years Easter egg= my soon to be ex.

Also if we were arguing and he'd threaten to leave I'd say 'Threaten me with a good time!'

 

"wrong screwdriver" = a date that went horribly wrong.  We liked that one so much that we had a band named that in high school.

"soup sandwich" = someone/thing is a mess.  From my husband's old drill sarge.  He explained that a soup sandwich is a sandwich of two pieces of bread with Spaghetti-Os in the middle

"so hungry I could eat a cup of lard with a hair in it" = from a bad Cheech and Chong movie

"hangs in there harder than a hair in a dry biscuit" = some Southern saying that popular around here.

"going to water the lily" = what my cousin says when she needs to pee

"dialing O on the little pink telephone" = my favorite euphemism for female, ahem, alone fun time
