I think I’ve said at least half to 2/3rds of these. I had a good chuckle.
Thanks, Jill! 🙂
I’m pretty sure I have said everyone of the mom ones! Two phrases I say all the time “Sorry about your luck” and “suck it up buttercup.”
Love it! Thanks for sharing your phrases, Tiffany! 🙂
I have a book at home that gives the history of where a lot of sayings came from, the history behind them. Was really interesting. In the military we have a lot of our own terminology, very easy to pick up on veterans haha. I always shudder if I start to sound like my mother (long story) but have definitely used some that you listed.
Oh, I bet your book it great! I always catch myself sounding like my mother!! Ha!
I say so many of these! Glad to know I’m not alone.
You’re in good company, Ashley!!
Brenda, I remember so many of these! Let the cat out of the bag, break a leg…and I could add your whole list!! Funny, how these change with each new generation, and we have no idea what they are talking about. Thank you for taking us down memory lane.
You’re welcome, Denise…thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
