Well theres several but I have heard kattywompus from my family. Go blow the stink off of ya....when you'e upset or mad. My ex would say if you had a belly ache (not going into detail) better out than in, his g-ma would say that. Lord willing and the crick don't rise. It's funny we say alot around here. Can't think of anymore here.

Well heres one that I live by: I'll make this as appropriate as possible. From a family member that was very very proper but made a good point. Poop (substitute) on me once you won't poop on me again. I live by this. I am a super caring trusting honest individual but I tend to think everyone else is and they are not so I get hurt.

Maybe we could have one person to copy & paste each quote/saying and have them numbered. Then each person votes for their favorite besides their own. I don't mind a bit to do it. I'll keep my sayings out since I'm kinfolk. :)
Here is a list of the sayings so far....keep em coming!
1: Some food or meal would "stick to your ribs" (Lisamarie)
2: Good garden peas! (peanut)
3: We always said someone was "dyed in the wool"...such as "He's a dyed in the wool Republican/Democrat" (abbasgirl)
4: Something crooked or off center was "Kattywhompus" (abbasgirl)
5: Her lips are redder than a possum's butt in pokeberry season! (farmgirl blessings)
6: Tough titty said the kitty but the milk sure was good. (windypines)
7: Palm of your hand itches, going to get money. (ronna)
8: If you sleep with dogs and you may wake up with fleas. (downbranchroad)
9: Youngin your head looks like a stump full of granddaddy's (downbranchroad)
10: When us kids were getting wild my papa would call us all "knotheads." (barefootgoatgirl)
11: Slicker than snot on a doorknob! (plumcreekmama)
12: Someone that is a little kooky is "a bubble off plumb" (nubidiane)
13: Dog-and-a-half-long-and-half-a-dog-high (jessiemae)
14: It'll feel better once it quits hurting. (jessiemae)
15: It slicker than a hog on ice out there. (jpbluesky)
16: Go blow the stink off of ya. (bohemiangel)
17: Lord willing and the crick don't rise. (bohemiangel)
18: You can wish in one hand and poop in the other and see which one you get first. (peanut)
19: Poop on me once you won't poop on me again. (bohemiangel) |

Oh this is going to be so hard. I've had so much reading these that I went and taught my mom how to get on farmgirls so she could enjoy them as well! We've had such fun with this! I'll case my vote tomorrow morning so I don't miss anyone's entry.
Jessica, I think you should add yours as well! Kinfolk or not, fun is fun!
Blessings, Lea

Here's one I recently heard and thought, "what???" It won't win the funny contest, but I wondered if anyone else out there had heard it. Someone said something was "slap-your-grandma" funny. Now, what's that supposed to mean? Sounds like a very BAD idea to me!! Anybody else ever heard that saying?

I'm still at Shakertown (um...they have wifi now????) but I thought I'd chime in while Jus is in the bathtup :)
My daddy had a flock of them...
Let's see: (usually directed at me..) Use your head for more than just a hat rest!
.... like water off a ducks back...
busier than a hound-dog with fleas
...like a duck on a junebug. (meaning REALLY liking something...)
I know there are more, but it's 8:00 am or so and I haven't had coffee yet

I was just thinking, too...four generations of Wilkin's women said this, to kids, dogs, anyone underfoot. I never think of too much as anomoly because I say it about 4 times a day!
Get outdoors and get the stink blown off ya!
I also recall some sort of "tall tale" my dad would tell me to eat my carrots. "Jon, eat em up--eat those carrots, they'll make you see in the dark!" And I would immediately eat them and go into my room and turn off the light. And guess what? Nothing happened.

When I ask my dad how he is ... he still replies ...
"Fine as a frog hair split four ways!" I love that!
If we're voting, I'd have to say that "That really melts my butter" really made me smile.
But they are all wonderful. I'm going to share them with my boys!

I remember my sister and I or someone saying I want this, and I want that.....and if it was not likely to happen, my mom would say "And folks in hell want ice water, too!"
If you are going to choose a favorite, when is the cut-off time, as I put this one not knowing if it would be on the list or not! Just wanted to add it for fun!

Coming down from my great-grandfather to my grandmother to my mom to me:
"Get out of emotion and into motion."
In other words: quit pouting about whatever it is and DO something!!!

Oh - and one more thing...
In the case where someone is telling you things about yourself that make you feel bad:
"What you think of me is none of my business!"
