[EZM]

A saying from the old country ..... translated ..... and typically related to calling someone out who is lazy, or inept .... and the results are poor or substandard ....

"you are working like a hungry man poops"

[EZM]

And another one from the old country which translates to something so ridiculous it's even funnier in English - used like you might say "go take a hike" or something ....

"Go crawl back into your mothers womb" (except it's not womb)

[Ken07AOVette]

I got this wonderful one from a guy with a great name, we must be brothers;

I thought my name was 'Jesus Christ, Kenny' until I was 12


Thanks for that, brings back good memories.

Another was, when I was holding the flashlight while Dad was fixing something;

Can you really be this (expletive) dense?

Taught me to pay attention.

[big zeke]

Not really a saying

Spoken by my mom with a thick German accent

Stop trying to pave the world, just wear shoes.

[thumper]

Upon being a show-off, My Mom's response was always' "Get off the table, Mabel - the 2 bucks is for the beer"

To prod you into acting on a good plan or gesture, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"

On being underfoot: "Why don't you kids go and play on the 401 ?" (Canada's busiest highway)

Upon receiving unsolicited, and generally worthless advice: "That, and a dime, will get you a cup of coffee"

When things started getting serious: "No, we won't wait until your father gets home - go and get me my big wooden spoon - NOW "

My Dad, would never use the Lord's name in vain, so his curse was "For crushed fruit" or "Cripes"

Both would often point out how thankful we should be for our food - comparing it to what the "little kids in Biafra are eating tonight", and after Terry Fox's heroic run, how any injury of ours would be inconsequential to him "Terry Fox would love to have a leg that hurt as much as yours"

Although certainly the master of his house, I never saw Dad raise a hand against another human being - not a smack, not a spanking, not even a shaking against any of us or Mom. He liked his beer and home-made wine - but I never saw him drunk - not once. He never lost his self control.

Good, solid Presbyterian parents, served their country and their church, raised 4 of us siblings who all have wonderful families of our own, grown grandchildren and not a one of us ever in trouble with the law, ever requiring government intervention or assistance. They both passed within a few months of each other, last summer/fall, both at 90 years. At every opportunity, we continue to use their clever sayings as a tribute to them.

Granny, from the East Coast, and born under the reign of Queen Victoria, had some cute ones too. If something unexpectantly went missing, she'd say " I turn'd around, and der it was .... GONE !:

My favourite from my Dad in a very heated conversation at the age of 16 and one that I think many in our current administration could benefit from thinking about:
(add expletives where required)
"Listen you little ****, the only right you have is the right to starve to death, everything else you've gotta earn"

[TBark]

From Dad,
He don’t know sheep sh*t from cherry pits.
If I want ur opinion I’ll beat it out of you.
He didn’t know whether to sh*t or wind his watch.
There’s no such thing as a good penalty, they all cost you 2 minutes.

Act your age and not your shoe size

[nsmitchell]

Grandpa used to always tell us:
Don't take wooden nickels
Mom's was :
If wishes were horses beggars would ride.

[chuckster136]

From my dad after messing up something badly:
How could one man be so stupid? You would think it would take two or three working together to accomplish that!

[Savage Bacon]

Some really good ones here.

From mom or dad: "go play on the dotted line"

[JBE]

One of my Dad's
A farting horse never tires
A farting man is the one to hire

[sewerrat]
