My dad had a bunch.
He'd give me a light tap to the arm and say, "That was for nothing, now do something". I was never under the impression that I had a freebie, tho
"If a bullfrog had wings, he wouldn't bump his arse on the ground every time he jumped".
Whenever I tried to help him fix a pipe or install a sink, "You're as useless as teats on a bull".
His one talk to me about the birds and the bees: "Wear a rubber, you don't shoot blanks any more".
To my aunt and uncle, our place in South Plymouth was "down the river", referring, I guess, to the Canal

My aunt: "Georgie, get your stuff together, we're going down the river tonight".
You went to the movies at the "the-AY-tuh". Someone who had a touch of a certain joint inflammation was suffering from "Arthur-itis".
Any kind of a gathering, a party, a banquet, a wedding reception, was a "time".
We ate "sangwiches" for lunch.
