[Misc] Sayings your old mum or dad said.

[Guinness Boy]

My nan constantly said "that'll come in handy" or "it'll come in handy".

Grandad brought back last week's TV Times by mistake? "That'll come in handy".

Or, when they turned up at our house with 235 cans of out of date pilchards or canned salmon? "It'll come in handy".

FFS.

Not so much a saying but when swearing my dad always used 'sod'. In those days you never heard the word f&@k. How times change

Make sure your pants are clean just in case you get run over.

Yep, along with “dry your hair before you go out, you’ll catch a cold”

Another pint of Harveys with a whisky chaser, and one for yourself.

[May’ve been unique to my Dad … hic]

 

[Guinness Boy]

"put one in the bin"

If anyone said to my mum 'shut up' she'd always reply 'so has mine, must be the weather'
Took years to understand what she was on about.

 

[Popeye]

'Wipe that smile off your face, or I'll wipe it off for you' (Mom)

'Don't go for the cake all at once, start off slowly with a slice of pie' (Dad)

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

“Who’s she, the cats mother?”

 

[Guinness Boy]

'Wipe that smile off your face, or I'll wipe it off for you' (Mom)

Mine too. I'd totally forgotten it until you posted that.

Two tarts in a bath.

One says "where's the soap?"

The other replies "yes, it does, doesn't it?"

“Who’s she, the cats mother?”

I had this! And my old man said to me there are two types of people in this world, grafters and dossers. Don’t be a dosser!

 

[The Oldman]

What my Mum and Dad said I could not repeat these days. They came from a very different world than today. Both have been gone for over 40 years but I still miss them

 

[The Oldman]

My Dad in law always went up to the bar with this line. Before I order I’ll have a double scotch

You`ll have someones eye out with that !

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'll give you a clip round the ear 'ole
I'll give you a clip alongside

(and beyond the realms of child abuse....)

You don't know poop from clay
Don't come the old acid
You're giving my arse the earache


Oh the joys of having a parent undiagnosed on the 'spectrum'.

Dad would be 100 in 2 years, RIP. Bless him. Poor confused lonely, but surprisingly functional and effective bastard.

Mmmm....not my parents, but an ex-girlfriend used to say that to me.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

When it was pudding time my great grandma use to say "those who ask don't get, those who don't ask don't want".

 

[Questions]

You’ll be laughing on the other side of your face in a minute ……… and me and my sis would then laugh and try to do just that……. God bless them both.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Stop crying about the penalty, or I'll give you something to cry about
