What's for supper?

"Wind soup and rabbit tracks!"
(My Aunt Lorina - actually my mother's cousin).

Also there's a German saying (sorry I don't remember the German words) that translates to "pickled basement stairs and flies' tongues."

Hi OTN!
Yea, what's for supper is a universal language. Sometimes my folks would say "ya'll come on & eat."

Ahhh Mulester7!
This is a hall of fame classic for sure. If only I had a dollar. :yes:
I think it has already been mentioned or at least a cousin of it, but it is still a good one.

how about,

tighter than a frogs A** , and that's water proof!

he's got nerve he hasn't used yet,........ but he'll get around to it

he's so stupid he's lonely

(said about a woman's rear end as she walks away, "looks like two pigs fight en under a blanket"

I'll kick you in the butt till your nose bleeds!

he's so stupid he could ruin a free lunch
 
How about

"He's got bats in the belfry"
"He's one or two bombs short of a full load"
"He's one or two pork pies short of a picnic" (i.e. the English version)
"He was in the wrong queue when the brains were given out"
"He's not the sharpest tool in the box but he means well"

Or on the upside
"He's as fit as a butchers dog"

All to be used with the utmost circumspection.

Another, "Never s**t where you eat." Very similar to " Don't screw around with the Boss' daughter."

TomG, you have a contender for the hall of fame with "tighter than a frogs A** , and that's water proof!"

There are some variations to it, but the point is still clear! :yes:

Ahhhh Mr. CG!
Once again the old folks knew how to get to the point! :yes:
"S**t on a stick" has been quoted so many times. I think this one may just be the all time winner. What do you think? :thmbsp:
