If you get hung in a rut, you better lock those hubs in. Cat get your tail out the fire!
70's kid my Dad says "wadda want eggs in your milk?" (still to this day)
always said if you "upscale" something.
Me: Dad I need shoes
Dad: ok we will get some.
Me: how about those Adidas like Run DMC
Dad: Wadda want eggs in your milk too
funny thing is as dumb as the saying is. My oldest child used it the other day when a person was trying to merge in front of him
My mom used to describe a solution to a problem that worked well as “slicker than snot”
Used that phrase in a work meeting once when I was younger and got the most eclectic mix of reactions ranging from, “ think I’m going to vomit” to full on LOLs.
I'm stealing that one.
"That's the cock for Dolly!" - Finally got that working.
I'm familiar with the last one. Love the "ketchup effect", have to remember that one
"play with fire. get burnt!!!" or "play with a cobra. your face gets bitten!!". both mean the same concept and are truly interesting and true
