What is your favorite saying your grandma or grandpa always said?

I was just thinking about my grandma, and the funny sayings she has.

Tut-was her swear word of choice

Over yonder-and you had to really work her to find out which "over yonder she was referring to.

Always referring to past years she would say "back in 19 and 49 ........

"That's ugly" -for when we had an attitude with her

"Drawers" is what she called her underwear and pants.

She called her favorite dish she made her Vieenie sausage dish (never could make her understand it was Vienna sausages!

The word dinner was not in her vocabulary, it as always "supper."

Do you have any you remember still?
