Expressions that no one uses but you

“Jesus H. Christ in a dead DeLorean”

It means nothing, just a generic expression of disgust.

how 'bout “finer than frog fuzz” ? i use that one a lot

and “i’m on a bagel today!!” as opposed to the boring and over used “roll”

:slight_smile:

I use “fuckery” in doing a lot of fuckery, or thats a lot of fuckery and “fric and frac” is referred to two people.

So, as you can probably see from my post count, I’m still pretty new in these parts, and I have a question of SDMB etiquette: Am I allowed to be sort of secretly sort of stoked that the first thread I started has gotten up to 140-some posts? Or would that just be indicative of a need on my part to either get a life or seek professional help? :dubious:

I use “now you’re talking crazy talk” all the time. I had a friend who used to say (probably in the same situation where you’d use “holy mother fuck me”) “well, fuck me naked.”

Also, when someone screws something up, I sometimes refer to it as “screwing the pooch,” as in, “Well, I really screwed the pooch on that one.”

And I can definitely imagine a situation where “No sex with fat chick for you!” might come in handy-- sort of a rough equivalent of “Bad cop! No donut!”

My version of “are we having fun yet?” is “always plenty fun at House of Rowdy Mirth!” It’s from Thomas Costain’s The Black Rose—the HoRM was a Chinese bawdyhouse, and the proprietor would exclaim that when something raucous or amusing occurred. I read the book (entirely too) many years ago, and the expression stuck.

I generally use “pardon my Anglo-Saxon” instead of “pardon my French” since most of the words that precipitate the remark are of Anglo-Saxon origin.

One that I learned from my father (on whom be peace): “bug juice” for soy sauce. This may be endemic to Montana; in any case, I’ve dutifully passed it on to my offspring.

Re: jerkwater (all one word). In the old railroad days, the water tank in the tender had to be replenished occasionally. This was done by pulling up next to a wooden tank mounted on stilts and pulling down a hinged spigot, which started the water flowing. Any town that was so small and insignificant that the train would stop for no other purpose became known as a “jerkwater town,” and the term came to mean Hicksville in gereral.

“Forever and a Day” is actually the title of a song.

And it’s also in the lyrics to Those Were the Days which was a favorite song of mine growing up.

Forgot to add my contribution.

When we were sick, my mom always said we ‘look[ed] worse than the one hung on Monday.’ Yeah, she was always real positive.

I use it all the time. If someone is mean, or does something wrong, then there’s no sex with fat chick for them! :wink: :slight_smile:
