Was texting my daughter and said,
It’s colder than a cob
out there, 15 degrees, snow, low of -10.
I added, your dad used to say
Colder than a witch’s tit
Always hated that word, don’t know why.
She replied yes, it’s
Slicker than snot
Hope the kids are careful driving.
Then she added yes, he also said
Off like a prom dress
And we laughed, remembering my husband’s humor.
Of course he also taught the grandkids how to light matches 🙄
My own dad used
Nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
My sister just wrote:
Great jumping toady frogs, Leaping Lizards, If it pleases you, it tickles me all to hell, and Great Jeosophat
What sayings were used in your family? Give me a few in the comments!
The Bag Lady 
1. “Deader than a door knob” which I never understood because door knobs aren’t alive.
2. “Hot as Hell.” I love this one. I still use it, although technically, it can never be hot as Hell.
3. “Sure as the day is long.” I really like this one. I still use it.
4. “Dumber than a box of rocks.” Well, you know… this one kinda speaks for itself.

Thanks for sending them! My mom used to say “I feel like death warmed over”. Never knew what that really meant, but I use it sometimes when I feel horrible!

I’ve heard that one and, “I feel like I’ve been hit by a Mack truck.”

“Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey” is the main one I remember. There were plenty others, but I’m blanking on them. Oh, yeah. “Dumb as a box of rocks.” “Dumber than a bag of hammers.” And my old friend coined “It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure that out.”

Not a family one but I used to have a friend that always ‘went off like a frog in a sock.’
