What are some sayings or phrases that your parents and grandparents used to say, that you remember fondly?

Asked by jca2 (16249points) October 8th, 2021

My grandmother used to say things like, when she was talking about something happening quickly, that it would happen “faster than you can say Jack Robinson.” She would also say “faster than two shakes of a lamb’s tail.”

She was of Czech descent, and she used to say “What do you think, my name is Fink, and I press pants for nothing?”

I know this question has been asked here on Fluther in the past, but not recently. What phrases or sayings did your parents say, or did your grandparents say, that you remember fondly?
