I read the whole thread to see what was there so I didn't repeat.

My dad is not a patient man when he is working. So he had a few good ones. "C'om on Grandma was slow but she was old!!"

My grandmother used to say, "Don't have a conniption."  I hadn't heard that expression since she passed away in the late 1980's until last week when an Amish woman was describing how her husband would react to her not getting home on time.  Her exact words, "He'll be throwing a conniption fit."   :D

Say when

POSTON WIDEHEAD

I've heard that 2......but forgot about it. FUNNY!  :D
Never knew what a conniption was. ???

Verge is a good word and how many folks know that it's origin is from a clock part?   ;D

She's so ugly you could tie a stick around her neck and still not get a dog to play with her.

I was just trying to think of some of the ones my grandpa "pap" uses. The ones that stick out are "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." and "You're either gunna have to get tougher or smarter son." A friend of mine always used to say "if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas"

Had an uncle who'd tell his slow son, "one of these days I'm gonna trade you for a horse, then shoot the horse..."

Granny used to say "if cow [I have typed a profane word that is automatically changed by the forum censored words program I should know better] were peaches we'd all be rich"....any time we'd wish we had something different.....

A fella I've heard of was so cheap, he has a drawer built into his kitchen table. Any relatives come over during supper, he's slide his plate and place setting in there, so the visitors wouldn't know he was eating and want to stay and have some..... I guess he was as tight as the bark on a tree in February.....

There are "old sayings... " and then there are "old cruel sayings" ....  I don't like the cruel ones.

Would take a cruel person to tell someone some of these that have been posted. IMO  just sayin....

If you ain't the lead dog the view never changes.

Someone was beat with an ugly stick.

If at first you don't succeed, so much for sky-diving.

She'd skin a flea for his tallow.

River sure is low - nope, I've seen it so low all the catfish had ticks and fleas (or We had half-grown bluegills that didn't know how to swim).

Oh-dark thirty.

Tom Selleck in an old western when surrounded by 25 armed opponents and asked by their leader "You think you can kill us all" and Tom replied "He's first, you're next. Do you really care after that?" (Of course that backed them down.)
