Things your Dad used to say.

"Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive... if you really wanna get tough, grow a ******! Those things take a pounding!"

Not something my Father told me....but funny none the less.

I think Betty White gets credit for that one . LOL
 
It’s been just about a year since my father passed away. I find myself often thinking about his words and perspective on life.

Some was good, much wasn’t. A lot of it was rooted in a past time that made some sense then...but doesn’t make much sense now.

I will take the few pearls of wisdom he had, reject the ideas that don’t make sense now...and try to build on what was good to share with my daughter and maybe my grandchildren one day.

The one thing he said that I find to be universally true is “All things must evolve and improve over what became before in order to survive.” and it expressed his deep understanding of things that I didn’t at the time...but do now.

He wanted me to exceed his accomplishments and understanding of things...just like I want my daughter to exceed mine.

The past is the past, honoring it is fine...but the future is what we really strive for.
 
Thanks for reviving this thread. My Dad was a product of the generation most of these posts are about. Grew up during the depression, saved everything and fixed stuff most people would have thrown out. Bought a bunch of old satalite taxies circa 1965 and put 15" wheels on the slant drive lines and got 26-28 mpg. Guess how I got started on mopars?

My dad used to tell me to "use ur head for something besides a hat rack " , usually right before he`d kick me in the *** , literally . He did it in front of one of his friends one time when I didn't move fast enough upon an order, embarrassed the hell out of me .
 
I remember my Dad's favorite saying was. " He isn't smart enough to pour piss out of a boot."
 
Do I need to get the belt ! ...and he wasn't talking about holding his pants up.

To much laughing usually leads to crying. when we were screwing around to much.

Don't ever have the police come to my door, because you'll be out of luck.
 
Here's another he would pound in my brain, lol
"Son, it's damn easy to get into trouble.
And damn hard to get out of it."
 
Buy ya books and buy ya books and all you want to do is eat the covers off and let the pages blow away in the wind.

Love ya dad.:thankyou:
 
"tighter than a nat's *** stretched over a rain barrel"

"doesn't have enough power to pull a greased string out of a pig's ***"

"slicker than snot on a glass doorknob"

"hungry enough to eat the north end of a southbound skunk"

"stiffer than a reverend's root"

"slower than molasses running uphill in January"
 
1 "If you marry the right person there is nothing like it, if you marry the wrong person there is nothing like that either."
2 "Get the belt." had one special one in his closet. I had to go and get it. Damn that was a long walk.
 
When I was doing something I shouldn't my Dad would say: "if you don't stop that, I'll knock you into the middle of next week!"
 
You're going to kill

yourself on that thing. Yea well I'm still here>>>>>>>>
 
I'm 66, and to this very day, i can remember my mom yelling to me and my sister, "don't leave the refrigerator door open forever"
I hated that to this very day, for some reason or other.

And my dad, when driving around, some slow poke pissed him off, he would always say, "piss, or get off the pot"

Guess kids pick up on everything, and never know what your going to remember, into old age.
 
Some of my Dad's sayings. That looks like a mules *** sowed up with a grape vine, he calls gasket sealer"ickumpucky", he used to tease me when I was a teenager about women saying, "look at that, looks like two turtles in a feed sack", there's so many, he's always been a jokester and fun to be around.
 
My grandpa (mom's side) once got so mad at a guy he said, "I wouldn't give you the sweat off of my *** if you were on fire." Not bad for a pastor.

My dad could fill a book.

Less talk, more do.

As a locksmith to a fussy customer , "there are thinkers and there are do-ers. Which one are you in this operation?"

After my brother said **** you to him, my dad lit him up and gave him a tune up (which are both sayings unto themselves) by popping him in the face repeatedly. "There, now you got smartbumps. That means you're smarter than you were."

"God damned mexicans." Doesn't matter if it was white, black, alive, dead, inanimate, or other. It's a God damned Mexican if it's not cooperating.

I'll update as I think to write them down.
 
My dad never swore in front of us in English, but swore in Italian, like we didn't understand :rolleyes:. Only once I remember him say, aw **** this, I don't remember what it was in reference to but he apologized to me, and I was in my twenties. My youngest uncle (my favorite) on the other hand would swear if a butterfly got close passing by him. His favorite was " **** this to the end of the earth" and "this ***** could suck a dick like a hoover". I didn't know what a hoover was, so that puzzled me as a kid. Miss both of them.
