Sayings no longer heard

I heard someone say "tough titties" on the radio this morning. I hadn't heard this in 20+ years. :wacko:

 

This has it all...sarcasm with a hint of sexuality and no remorse for the other person. I'm going to find a way to use it in everyday conversation at some point today.

My grandfather had some great ones.

 

"Oh my aching back" (to express dismay, for example being stuck in traffic or your team is losing)

"That's a horse of a different color"

"Slow as molasses in January"

"Six of one, half a dozen of the other"

"Not worth a fiddler's fart"

"Slow boat to China"

"Get fat on it!" (When forced to discard an ace or picture card in 500 Rummy)

And my personal favorite, I think this was his own creation:

"Oh sh!t mother, I can't dance" :wacko:

I have used each of those in the last six months. Then again, I have a reputation for using those types of sayings.

 

"It's not worth a tinker's damn." is one I used last week.

 

I got :D looks from a bunch of 20-somethings last week by saying, " That's the tail wagging the dog." :wacko:

"That TimC is a handsome and witty man"

 

"You couldn't find your butt with both hands", was one my grandfather used when ever someone couldn't do something reasonably simple.

I love that one.
