    "No comments from the peanut gallery"


    Have no clue what that means.

    From the Howdy Doody show I think.

    This hails back to the stage, when understudies would learn all the lines with the lead actor. If the lead actor could not act for some reason (ie, they had broken their leg), the understudy would take over the part..

    Any idea what that means?

    Imagine how you would walk if your shoes were shaped like balls - particularly on the soles..

    Very funny :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    My mom used to say, "Use your head for something besides a hat rack".

    Parents would tell me I would lose my head if it wasn`t attached to my shoulders.

    That was when I was tearing the house apart looking for a lost homework assignment.

    Gee, my mom always said that if it was a snake it would have bitten me (when I was looking for something, and it was in plain sight)

    Speaking of "round heels", my Dad used to call a slutty looking girl a "round heel". He also uses the expression (when the kids are NOT around) "Colder than a witches tit" wonder how cold a witches boob actually is??

    Yep to both. :laugh: And then, "It's going to be in the last place you look" when you're looking for something. Well, duh! Because then you quit looking. :ohwell:

    Could be... my Dad is an old hillbilly from the mountains of Arkansas so they probably just cut it short. He also says "colder than a well diggers *kitten*" - atleast that one makes since to me!

    :laugh: Well I guess going feet over head is just as bad as having droopy boobs.... actually, droopy boobs are probably worse. :laugh:

    I was thinking the worst, ending up on your feet over head WITH droopy boobs... then the tits are definitely UP, and down and up and down. HA!

    Personally I love all the sayings that peope use to discribe someone that might be a touch insane, or not as smart as they could be. My FAVORITE is the wheel is turning but the hampster is dead.

    "Several fries short of a happy meal"
    "Couple cards short of a full deck"
    "Heeeeeere's your sign!"
