"Happy wife, happy life."
I lived in the US near Canada when I first heard this saying. I asked some Canadians if they originated it. Nope, was the reply.
So some friends of mine and I decided it must have been originated by a lesbian couple in California.

"fubar" - ....beyond all recognition. I think it's from the military. My son introduced me to it, from the Army.
But my favorite expression for this post is -

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
This is one of DH's sayings, and I love its expressiveness, even with the bad grammar. It so simply eloquent.
