Do you have memories of funny sayings your grandma or grandpa would always say?

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?

    Yeah that gave me a laugh,so many memories! She didn't like a bunch of questions and I was always full of them,one day she told me to get a bag and put them all in there and save it for a rainy day.So being the brassy kid I was I said ok grandma which one the paper bag or the flour sack? ! To that she answered one more back talking today and you will be cutting me three willow branches.That meant get quite or else. One day while walking to church we had to past the Black church and they were singing and shouting and it sounded really good with loud music so I said grandma why can't we go to this church it sounds like they have more fun than we do? She just looked me square in the eye and said we don't have a hat! I guess you can tell I loved my granny and she was just so down home person nothing fazed her at all.! Shes been gone many long years but I can still hear her talk.Thanks for the great question! And the Memory.

    My Grandfather used to always give us girls a hard time. There were plenty young grand daughters for him to deal with. So he would always tell us that we needed to keep a nickel between our knees. In other words he wanted us to keep our legs closed. Funny. Rest in peace Pa Pa.
