[Misc] Sayings your old mum or dad said.

[METALMICKY]

My mum's sayings and as a child bloody annoying :

When asking what was for pudding the stock response was " bread and pull it" Basically it meant never mind you've not got a choice as it's just what I've prepared and be thankful

If you asked where she was going or where she had been? Response was " off/been to see a man about a dog" . Infuriatingly it was a lighthearted way of saying none of your concern or anything for you to worry about


Probably a fairly common one was ' black over Will's mother's ' which was simply referring to black clouds before rain

 

[METALMICKY]

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

Are you sure it wasn't William the Conqueror's health and safety advisor?

 

[Popeye]

Oh yeah another my mom always said to me:

"You're campaigning for an ass-whooping and you about to win the election"

Still hear that quite often!

I’m sure my mum had a saying for every occasion when I was a kid, just a few I can remember at the moment.

Best foot forward - meant we were walking to the shops.
A third class ride is better than a first class walk - think we were catching a bus.
I after e except after c - she never went to South Heighton
Ask doesn’t get - still struggling with that one.
Children in Africa are starving - when i didn’t eat something i had told her 100 times I didn’t like.

“Little fish taste sweet”, my dad when referring to a little win on the horses (usually a placed each way bet).

 

[Muzzman]

If you’re being indecisive..

“You’re in and out like a fart in a colander!”

 

[Petunia]

Oh dear. I still say some of those!

My 97 year old Mum said just a couple of months ago “I hope that Liz Truss gets in. The other chap looks ‘a bit foreign’” (in her broad West Country accent!)

I’ve tried to educate her over the years

A friends Grandfather when going for a number two would say " I'm off to turn the Vicar's bike around".
Never been able to work that one out, made me laugh and I don't know why?

If I was pulling a face as a child I was always told "if the wind changes you'll stay like that" If the sun came out while it was still raining it was called a "monkeys birthday" and my dear old Nan used to tell us kids to behave or "Boney'll getcha!"

My mum did the children in Africa one and once, when I was still very young, I totally innocently said: “can we send it to them, then?”

MUM “Just you WAIT til your Dad gets home !’

DAD “Ask your Mother “

"Go and ask your mother" was going to be my contribution to this thread....

 

[Is it PotG?]

Dad, upon embarking out for a haircut 'Just off to have my ears lowered'.

Mum always called chewing gum 'choody'.

 

[happypig]

Another of my mum's was, when insisting on paying for something, "There's no pockets in a shroud" meaning "you can't take it with you". She didn't either, when everything was settled we inherited about ninety quid.

When my Mum was asked 'What's for dinner? ' she would often say shit & sugar . I got in trouble for being a smartarse when I said to her once - 'Oh really, I thought it was your cooking that was bad, not the ingredients' . I then had no dinner given to me that evening.

 

[Jam The Man]

My dad used to advise:

Never go out in the rain, without wearing your mac.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Similar to above, would ask Dad what's for dinner?

'Kippers & custard' came the reply 9 times out of 10.

Now a staple in the on the Gate household.
