Have a great day, you hear?
All new to me, except one, over my dead body.
ReplyDeleteFirst time in print that I know of. These are all my own sayings except for my Dad's.
DeleteI think I've heard that it can get worse... but the others.... nope. It's interesting the expressions we use that are so unique. Now I'm trying to think if I have any that I say....
ReplyDeleteDifferent people have different sayings and different areas of the country have different ways of saying things. I remember each time I moved to a different state for a job, I had to learn their short cut sayings.
DeleteVery nice, good sir. I suppose in New Zealand, that might throw a Kiwi over a cliff. The bird, not the fruit.
