Things your Dad used to say.
I grew up with my father and my grandparents right next door. As it's
A family farm dating back to the 1800's
My late Grandfather used to say:
If the Women were nagging
"Bitchery nothing but bitchery"
After a break
"When I get some ambition."
Something stuck
"Stuck on like goose sh×*"
Pail that didn't leak
"Tighter than a beaver *$#"
When milking cows he would check to see if pipeline was leaking.
"Milk pail was full so I went to the milkhouse to get an empty pail. I waded thru the milk to get a pail from the sink"
Paid off his tractor.
"See that puff of Smoke? I OWN THAT!
So many more that I can't remember but my father says them from time to time.
My father, farmer and superb welder that can embarrass professionals
"Can't fix it? Bring it here and let's do it"
"Cant be done? Then you just challenged me."
"Its only metal"
"I walked to school barefoot uphill both ways, and wrapped barbed wire around my feet for traction in the winter"
When talking about an idiot
"The lights are on but nobody is home"
When it is time to plant corn.
"In by the 4th of may or lose a bushel a day"
Or
"When you stick your finger in the ground and it is as warm as when you stick ypur finger in your &$/ then its time to plant."
Or
"When the bids on the oak tree are as big as a squirrels ear"
Corn growing
"Knee high by the 4th of july"
Also many others that I hear every day
