Favorite Sayings (house, the best, buying, phone)

[HappyandMarried]

What sayings to you often use? Did you make them up, or take them from someone else? Have your friends or family started using them?

My wife has a good saying. She uses it when someone takes too long to make a decision. Usually when we are in a long line, get to the front, and the person being helped just then decides to think about what they want. You know the kind - stands in line, deer in the headlights look on their face, and when the person waiting on them asks "what can I get for you" they go "ummmmm ........"

Her saying is - "Come on! You're not buying a house".

My wife was complaining about some issue and our 5 year old daughter told her to "Build a bridge and get over it". I almost pee'd my pants! The things little ones hear and repeat is just amazing!

"S/He's as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs"

When someone gets a good "rip" on me....i'll say "....a kick in the nuts would of felt better!!...".

That line is my own original saying...i've encouraged the masses to use this phrase!

My daughter just told me that one today!!! I guess it's the new "cool" thing to say LOL

I don't have many "sayings"...my husband got a kick out of something I said the other night. We were talking about a girl/woman we know who is not, how shall I say it, not of high morals. She just simply acts like white trash in many aspects. So he said something about her and my reply was "hon, it doesn't matter how you dress it up, trash still smells like trash"....so maybe that'll be my new saying.

I have a few, but my favorite mean saying is "You need to put on a hat because your white trash roots are showing".

That reminds me of what my husband said about one of our co-workers.
Something like, you can put perfume on a pig and try to cover the smell but it is still a pig....Shoot Something like that. I will have to ask him. The girl was a party girl .

I've used all of the following....

"You're not half as bas as X says you are."

"I take back half of the bad things I've said about you."

"I'm finer than a frogs hair, split three ways."
(in responce to "how are you?")

"Yes way!"
(in responce to "No way!")

"Now don't go confusing the issue with facts."

I think the best one I ever heard was my husband telling one of his friends "I think my wife has some shoes that will match that dress".

The friend in question has a wife who dominates him to the point that he has to ask her permission to even make phone calls. The occasion in question was asking the friend to have dinner with us that night, and the friend's wife was out of town!!

I remember hearing Michael J. Fox saying that in the movie, The Story of My Success.
