Barf - as in vomit

Dis - as in reject

Federal Case - as in big deal

and one of my mother's favorite expressions was..."somewhere between there and here, you must have lost your ever-lovin mind, I suggest you go back the same way you came and see if you can find it"

"Whatever's Fair is Fair, Kid" Grampa

when spoken in a resigned tone meant: "whatever your grandmother says - goes!"

when said after a few beers with his buddies at the KofC meant: "whatever you want!"

and when said in response to my tears or pouting, in a mollifying tone meant: "chin up, as soon as they're not looking we'll go get ice cream"
