I used to hear "I have to pee like a Russian racehorse" a lot.

Today, I got to say, "Lord love a duck!" and I liked it.

DoReMiFemme · 06-20-2011, 08:44 PM

I used this in passing conversation today:

Heavens to betsy!

cinderella · 06-20-2011, 09:40 PM

Lol, Miss Gemme, never heard about the Russian racehorse, but I have about 'Lord love a duck' - wish I knew the history behind that one.

give your head a wobble - to ask someone to re-think what they have said

Soft*Silver · 07-13-2011, 07:20 PM

If I said "Mom, I'm hungry!" Momma would say "go upstairs and eat a dead monkey..."

DoReMiFemme · 07-13-2011, 07:33 PM

I'm not sure how particularly old-fashioned this is, but my grandma uses it and so do I:

passel - a large group of people or things; a pack.

I usually refer to the dogs in my home as a "passel of demons." Okay, there are only three of them but they sure feel like a larger pack when they all clamber around to say hi when I get home.

Gráinne · 07-13-2011, 09:58 PM

Any sentence followed by "Bless her heart" (as in, "She's a little dim, bless her heart")
She doesn't have the sense God gave a billy goat
Mind your P's and Q's (oops, that's been said-oh well)
Don't be a flibberdegibbet
Don't read me the entire magillah (from mother)
All that and a bag of chips
The bee's knees
I wanna knock you into next week! (meaning a punch, or..something

)
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
