On the back of the thread here about words that have come and gone in our society these days, a few of the posts about words and sayings that our grandparents used to use brought back memories of my nanna and the things she used to come up with...

My nanna often looked after 5 grandsons at the same time, if we played up she would always berate us with "DRY UP !!"
And then if we said "It's not fair" she'd reply with 'NEITHER IS A BLACK MAN'S BUM"

Anyone got any others ?

nan- "ill see you when im looking at you"

Overheard one of my dad's mates saying this when I was a kid - 'She's got a head like a robber's dog.' (I don't think he was talking about me. )

I've always used "hoo roo" when saying goodbye to people and a number of people look at me and seem to assume I had a nasty case of hiccups.

Further back than Walla Walla is another one.

If ya can't be good, don't get caught !

Don Burke maybe?

along the same lines as Sabre... "If you can't be good, be good at it."

A girl that mightn't look that flash close up... "Good from far, far from good", along the same lines "she's got a head like a smashed crab" and "Lobster: good body shame about the head"

I always say "see you tomorrow" and my mum always says "why, what are we doing tomorrow"

When i was at school my mates girlfriends dad saw him without a shirt on and said "hey Ryan, you have a Bondi chest...far from Manly"...pretty sure I pissed myself for about half an hour..

I am scared of no man...and very few women!

i say "seeya wednesday" to anyone, and generally get the same response!

I took this from Rick Stiener
If you Don't like Bite me

An old one for when you tell a joke that goes over people's heads:

'That went down like a wrought iron glider'

Ty webb from gaddyshack

"thank you very little"

He/she is 'as mad as a bag of badgers'...that's 'mad' as in nuts, insane, fruit loops and not as in angry.

A couple of very frequently used sayings from my military days that still serve me well...

K.I.S.S. = keep it simple, stupid

The 5 P's = preperation prevents p*** poor performance

"Darling, how about it...."

Hers, "No"

dry as a nuns nasty
dry as a dead dingos donger

A couple from my old Aunt Amy:

"The quickest way there is the way you know".

"If you can't say something good about someone then say nothing at all".
