My grandma's favorite phrase was "slower than molasses in the winter time".As in, 'that car is moving slower than molasses in the wintertime!'Also she said "Tough titties said the kitty when the milk went dry", which was weird, just because its weird hearing your grandma said "titties".Alright, add on.

    "He was born on 3rd and thought he hit a triple."
    "She can talk the hind leg off a cat".
    "Don't let the door hit ya where the good God split ya."

    My dad always described things as "slow as molasses" or "fast as greased lightning".

    Grandma, about someone she didn't like: "He can go shit in his hat."

    My abuela on my mom's side used to call foods like sunflower seeds and pomegranate "comida de bobo" because it took so much effort for so little payoff.

    Not a saying, but I've got a step-uncle who always sits in the back closest to the door in case a fight breaks out. This is including church.

    This counts because of how totally awesome it is.

    My grandfather: "Do they have (some unique thing only found in India) like these in America? They don't? That's why India is better than America."

    He could be referring to mangoes, Indian sweets, or anything else. Drove me crazy because I'd try to outfox him but he always won.

    [Catholic imposed guilt]"God's going to punish you."[/Catholic imposed guilt]

    I guess this is why I didn't really like going to church when I was little.

    My grandparents don??t really have alot of standard lines, but my deceased granfather on my father??s side said some stuff I??ll never forget.

    Towards the end of his life he got terminal cancer and a shitload of related diseases. I mean, he was on chemotherapy, his hair was falling out, they did that thing where they put your intestine out and hook it to a bag (what??s this called in English?), constant IV, and about 10-20 pills A DAY. Clearly the end was near, and even I, a kid of about 7 at the time could see that.

    At dinner he would have to eat about 7 of these WEIRD-looking pills; banana-shaped, blue, green, white with stripes and all that, and they were serious drugs all of them. Still he??d turn to us kids with a grin and go

    "Look at all my candy! I get all this candy because I built this house and worked my ass off. Go mow the lawn and I might give you some."

    RIP

    From my family tree: "I didn't know whether to shit or go blind, so I closed my eyes & I farted real loud."

    My Grandma says this all the time" I ain't stunting them folks"
    Meaning, I don't give a fuck what they say or do to me, I'll never worry!!!

    My grandma said it too. But I believe the expression is more like "I ain't STUDYIN' you."
