There are sayings that have gone on for years. Many of them we see here on a daily basis. I always wonder where some of them come from. Take this one for instance. WHO PEED IN YOUR CHERIOS. Ok, so taking a moment to reflect, it is obvious what is implied by the saying but how exactly did it gain mainstream catch phrase status. Did some dude actually get up for work one morning and sit down to a fresh bowl someone peed in? Just makes you wonder where it got its start.
So now that is out of the way, what are some classic sayings. Here are some I can think of off the top of my sleep deprived head.
That was quicker than two shakes of a lambs tail.
Colder than a mother in laws kiss.
Colder than a witches teat in a cast iron bra.
'course..then there are the curse word sayings that are fully customizable. ie. faster than ______ colder than_______ slower than _______ hotter than ________ hurts like ______. I guess that is why spongebob calls them sentence enhancers.
Cupsy has one that refers to something about eyes like a frog but I cannot remember how it goes. No doubt it is woefully distasteful for a public forum anyhow.
Finer than frogs hair.
Sweating like a whore in church.
Jittery as Sancho in a broom closet when the mister comes home from work early.
Ok, I'm out but you get the idea. The best ones come from the old timers who can rattle them off one after another. Alright....I'm off for bed.
