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

swell

shush!

and saying things by their actual name instead of brand name (i.e. bandage instead of Band-Aid, tissue instead of Kleenex, soda instead of Coke)

Sam Hill is an American English slang phrase, a euphemism or minced oath for "the devil" or "hell" personified (as in, "What in the Sam Hill is that?"). Etymologist Michael Quinion and others date the expression back to the late 1830s

Criminy!



My grandmother always said "Crominy!" (usually followed by someone's name). Close, but distinctly different.

Andrea 06-15-2011 09:02 PM

One of my favorite words - abreast

As in they were walking two abreast.

My mom's favorite: Fuck you and the horse you rode in on!

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.

Diva 06-15-2011 09:35 PM

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"





Corkey 06-15-2011 10:10 PM

My grandma used to always say "go wash your teeth". I thought she was kidding....

Ms. Meander 06-15-2011 10:37 PM

Good night, Gracie!
 
I have been truly enjoying all of your posts! Keep 'em coming!

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.

At least that is my take.

But did Fire come before or after Dirt? My grandfather was "older than dirt".

That gives me an Evita flashback, which is weird because those are usually thread hijacks rather than on topical...

"All you will see is a girl you once knew,
allthough she's dressed up to the nines,
at sixes and sevens with you..."

"dressed up to the nines" being all dressed fancy like.
