Old family expressions--

[BassDawg]

Killer Thread,,,,,,,,,just foundit today!

I grew up in Oklahoma, so we had simialr expressions for the same Life situations, only worded differently, waaaaaay differently!!

here's some from my Dad (Marine, small town cop):
~~about fighting,,,,,,,,,,
"Don't start sumthin, ya can't finish!"
"That boy's mouth is writtin' checks his body can't cash!"
~~things to say to a prospective opponent,,,,,,,,,,
"I'll slapp the dog snott right outta YOU!"
"I'll slapp a hair-lip on you big enuff to comb!"
"I'll go thru you,,,,like crap through a GOOSE!"
~~to us when we were pushing his patience level,,,,,,,,,,
"Keep that up and I'll beat you like you stole somethin'!"
"I'll stomp a mud-hole in yer azzz, boy!"
"I'll drop you like a baaaaad HABIT!"
"I'll go thru you,,,,like Grant took Richmond!"
"Don't MAKE me come over there,,,,,,"

my Mom only had one about fighting:

"Don't you start it, but you can damn sure FINISH it!"

my ALL time favorite from my Dad was to me and my brother who were 13 mths apart in age. and we were brutal to each other growing up, but don't ever mess with either one of us, either.

anyways, outside of his usuall "I'll pull this car over right now and give you both a whoopin that you'll NEVER forget" and my Mom's "I've got eyes in the back of my head and I can SEE everything you two are doing!"(rearview mirror)

my favorite from my Dad to us was,
"You two boys would FIGHT about the TIME OF DAAAAY!" that one seemed to always put the brakes on us.
