my friend Rose, who heard the (intentionally butchered, I'm sure) phrase "go to the mattress" in some bullshit flick (Godfather or something) and kept crying foul when I would say "go to the mat," like a normal person.
I think "Go The mattress" is a legit saying. I think its mob slang.
I say "Chi Chis Christ!" when a well-endowed woman walks by.
I also like when my Mexican brethren from the other side ask me about their checkings[/b] account.
As far as ol' Mexican/Chicano slang, I always say "Right on, catchet??n!" and "Sauce!" (I don't really know how I would explain the usage of the latter, it's just one of those things you say when the time is right. I don't know how I would explain when the time would be right either.)Both of those I got from my Dad.
I had a boss that caught me smoking weed one time, she was old and grey and actually said "It smells like jazz in here"
lol. classic! thats location material right there.
on some more aged slang, i always want to use the term "Chipper Philly" when describing an attractive young lady, but never seem to pull it off as much as i'd like.
Okay, not to harp on the cattywampus thing, but I still use it because my Mom taught me. True to definition, I use it when the waist of my pants are all twisted to one side, and then I say, "My pants are all cattywampus". She's from Indiana originally, so maybe its based from the Midwest.
I like listening to my wife's grandpa talk, he's 95 and always starts his stories with, "So there was this guy, see[/b] and I had to let him go see[/b] because he was stealing from the register..." Saying "see" at the end of a sentence is like the OG version of "KnowwhatImean".
my old boss' dad is this old school sales man, been selling locksmith parts for 40 years. He still refers to all asians as "chinamen." I can't get mad when he says it cause its so ridiculous, that combined with his crazy fast old sales man talk doesn't help either.
"Mind you don't....(insert something you're not supposed to do here)". This is some Southern shit.
Well, here's some real Southern shit - "I ain't studdin' you," which is a corruption of "I ain't studying you" (which is still kinda quaint), which is supposed to mean "I ain't listening to you." My late grandmother used to say that.
And here's one from the "random Sunday thoughts" thread - "stories," meant to denote TV soap operas. "Before I do anything else today, I got to watch my stories."

I know a dude who refers to any immigrant as a "Chinaman." The really weird part is that it's usually preceeded by another adjective, like "Italian" or "Russian." As in, "Man, that damn Italian Chinaman sure can cook!"
It's beyond offensive, and really into the category of headscratching bemusement.
