    Had worse on my lip and kept whistling.

    My dad used to say,"Oh, your nose in my butt."

    Them two are thicker than s--t on a stick.

    If so and so turned a corner (the other so n so)s nose would break off.

    I don't make me no never mind.

    Stand hitched. (for stand still)

    Shaking like a dog s---ing bones.

    He's a hard dog to keep under the porch.

    Dog in the manger.

    Just like a dog chewing on a bone.

    Digging up bones.

    Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

    Why buy the cow when you're getting the milk for free.

    My mom used to say," Oh you don't know from adams all fox."
    I think she meant adams off ox.

    It has been fun reading a lot of the sayings I had forgotten. Why don't we use phrases today?

    When things didn't go right for me I would say, Oh Good Gravy.

    Reap what you sow.
    My grandfather used the phrase. She acts like she has a cob up her butt.
    Someone was uppity meant they thought they were better than you.
    He's so narrow minded he can't see the fly on the tip of his nose.

    I have heard almost all of these. Here are a couple more:

    "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free."

    "He is older than dirt."

    Knew an old lady who was as old as her eyes and a little older than her teeth.

    How about: "Hop to it and get a red nose" and "Use a little elbow grease".

    Too dumb to pour pee out of a boot with the directions written on the heel.
