Moo Moos ( I believe it was sort of similar to a flowery print dress but more causal)

Moo moos are still used today, especially in the South. Sometimes they are called house dresses.

Heard it often growing up.

"...digging a hole to China...."

and

"Clean your plate; there are starving children in China!"

Last night my brother texted me that something was as funny "as all get out" ... and i thought ... he's only 30 something, really? Old man.

Smiling 05-14-2015 07:06 PM

Brassieres, bosoms, and unmentionables, lol.

I love the expression "unmentionables." lol, and it makes me laugh when someone calls breasts bosoms, but I'm not sure why.

And calling someone's derrière a keister, lmao. I love that one, too.

Dye Job~~~~

I believe it's now called "coloring one's hair!

Smiling 05-14-2015 07:32 PM

"mind your own beeswax"

Smiling 05-14-2015 07:54 PM

Goodnight, nurse.

It referred to staying at an event right up to the end~

Ruminating early in the morning....
 
Oh, I don't like that one. It's like 'there's more than one way to skin a cat'. Or 'sweat like a pig' which is completely inaccurate anyway because pigs literally do not sweat....hence all the rolling in mud. Why do we have to bring innocent animals into our colorful speech? I wonder who started all that mess.

homoe 07-13-2015 03:47 PM

Boodle (which is defined as money, especially that gained or spent illegally or improperly) which was used by us in the UP of Mi as money stashed away and spend however one chooses to spend it!
