Oh my dad has a few...and I find myself saying them too

1) If if's and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry christmas
2) if you're gonna hit 'er, hit 'er hard (when my sister's and I would fight)
3) "here comes the all star"...we use to play family league slow pitch...my dad thought he was Mickey Mantle lol
4) I brought you into this world, I can take you out
5) Go ask your mother
6) Such is life
7) People die in bed you know (I sleep a lot)

My dad didn't necessarily have a specific saying, but the men on my dad's side of the family have a habit of swearing profusely and in a most inventive fashion when fixing things are not going as planned. The tone of voice is something of a caress, but the words coming out are just plain vile!

My husband does have something that he says to our daughters very frequently..."Whatever keeps you farting through silk"...this is said when he does something that makes them happy. I don't know where he ever heard it from, but it is quite silly and funny.

I was the oldest of 5. My sister was only 13 months younger than me and always wanting to argue. One day we were in the living room (Dad was in another room). She got mad enough at me to start swinging, but I was too fast for her. She's swing and miss, then I would jut my jaw out at her to taunt her. She was getting very frustrated as this went on. Finally she started crying and swinging. My father yelled from the other room.

Dad: " What's going on in there!!??!"

Darla (sister): "Mike won't let me hit him!!!"

Dad, "Mike!! You stop that!!"

Just goes to prove Bill Cosby's saying that "Parents don't want justice -- they want quiet."

My father is a very serious/stern Man, so I don't recall things he said, per se. However, when I did something really well when I was little, he would always call me a cracker jack or a whipper snapper. That was the biggest compliment to me

hahaha my fiance says that all the time when things are going as planned "we're fartin' through silk now honey"...


My dad also called everyone that made him mad a bonehead...i call people boneheads too now lol or a knob..."that guy is such a knob"

My dad has said many of the things already posted, but the one "I'm not a man, I'm your dad!" reminded me of something my mom said to me when I was just old enough to swear and young enough to think it was "cool":


"Don't swear, it sounds like h3LL!!":laugh:

My mom will be 95 years young in January, and my dad just had his 84th birthday. I guess she was a "cougar" before they made a tv show about it.

Mike - Thanks for sharing that.

My dad is also gone. Some of his more memorable sayings:


"*kitten* in one hand and wish in the other and see which one get full first"

Forgot about that one. Probably one of my Dad's faves. Use it all the time myself. I don't even have to say it anymore. Just lookat my daughter and hold my hands out, palms up. She rolls her eyes.

My dad says that all the time too. He also says a million other weird southern sayings. I still don't get a lot of them.

When you irk him he says: "Do you know bob?" Bob who? "Bob up and bite my @ss!"

My father passed away in April 2000 at the young age of 50. He was a tough marine who fought in Vietnam and Jell-o when it came to me. We were best friends and I wouldn't change a minute of our time together. He taught me how to fish, play baseball and took came to see every game, ballet recital and football game I cheered at.

He had such a sense of humor (showing up at surprise birthday parties dressed as the "Hooker", "Geriatric Nurse" and even a Belly Dancer once).

Some of his sayings:

If I were meant to have patience I would have become a doctor.
When I was your age .... (fill in the blank)
Honey, if I am not embarrassing you it means I am too old. (He was the type of Dad that when he chauffeured my friends and I around he would sing along to the radio with us... loud).
To my sister: If you want to cry I will give you something to cry about. (Uh, Dad doesn't she already have something to cry about).
If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

Just remembered another one (because I said it to the boys just now)... when being called the 4th time to dinner, he would end it with "Do you need an engraved invitation?".... my boys just looked at me and rolled their eyes... LOVE IT.
