We were always describing things as "nifty", "keen" and "cool" and the kids we didn't like at the time had "cooties". My mom always said "night, night, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite". Unfortunately, that may be too close to home for some people based on the recent news.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915948349223137648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241655384336418209.post-92023853315958554772011-08-08T17:42:09.566-07:002011-08-08T17:42:09.566-07:00Another fun post!

One I still find myself say is "I'll Swarn", which I believe was something her generation made up to take the place of the word swear. Then there is the one that Jim always did with our kid and now the grandkids.... "Morning Glory" and they respond "Evening Star", (him) "Think it'll rainbow?" (them) "It might snowman." I'm always fixin' to do something. I don't say it, but have cousins who still say "You-uns come see us now, ya hear?" There are so many!

My parents were older when I was born, so what they said was already out-of-date when I was a kid. <br /><br />The one phrase that I do say out loud is when someone is running late-- and he or she says: <i>"I'm coming."</i> I always respond, just like my father did, with: <i>"So's Christmas!"</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241655384336418209.post-40317470922607248242011-08-08T10:59:55.392-07:002011-08-08T10:59:55.392-07:00Oh, boy, "got a hitch in my giddyup" mea...Oh, boy, "got a hitch in my giddyup" means I've got a limp. "Cop a squat" is a *very* indelicate way of saying "Have a seat".
