I get told I say this kind of stuff all the time but I can't think of anything except:

My grandmother always said "Crominy!" (usually followed by someone's name). Close, but distinctly different. |
One of my favorite words - abreast

studmuffin
urban dictionary: A rather attractive human of the male (in this case butch, trans, FTM, etc) variety. Can be described as being 'good enough to eat'. mmmm.... I can smell freshly baked studmuffin. |
I say "Swell" a lot.....it's a 50's word.
My Granny Sweeten used to say "directly" (pronounced d'reckly): We're goin' to the store d'reckly. (Soon) "Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes" "Church house" |
My grandma used to always say "go wash your teeth". I thought she was kidding....

I am now off for one last gander at the moon before I hit the hay. |

You're talking on a dead phone. (You're wasting your breath.)
Mosey. Keen. Nifty. Snazzy. Spiffy. I'm sure there are more, I'll add 'em as I think of them. |

bad hat - someone who deliberately stirs up trouble
*I won't give an example lest I get myself in trouble, and come off like a bad hat.* |
I also say:
'good egg' and use the expression: 'I love you more than salt' (which is from an old fable/folk tale) |

As My late maternal grandmother made famous as a saying to My later maternal grandfather..

this thread is my cuppa tea, Ms. M
"All Talk, No Trousers" remains a favourite, always accompanied by an eyeroll.
"Hello Pot, this is Kettle calling" "Pardon my French" - when caught cursing, particularly in front of children. "The Bee's Knees AND the Cat's Pajamas" - really top of the top, the best thing ever "Full of Beans" - to mean full of energy or a nice way to say 'your child is manic and out of control' "It's all gone pear shaped" - all wrong, not as expected, disappointing "Ass over Tea-kettle" - to describe a particularly fantastic fall Whinge - to whine Suss/Sussed - to figure out, understand Strop/Stroppy - to throw a fit or tantrum, to sulk Twee - to be dainty, quaint Gallivanting - out on the town, running around |
dizzy with a Dame!!!

My Aunts Ruby and Lois used to say "Law, law!" because it was as close as they could get without taking the Lord's name in vain.....
~Lawsy mercy! ~Land sakes alive! :giggle: |
From my Grandmother born in the 1880's in Italy-
"sacremente la bastia!" "inchastra!" "miseria" My Mom (1917-1998)- "Jesus, Mary & Joseph!" "tall drink of water" "everyone's shit stinks" "royal pain in the ass" ... last but not least... "stupid is what stupid does"- When I saw "Forest Gump", I couldn't believe someone else's mother said that! Yeah- not exactly from a refined background... |
