I just wanted to say that it is my personal goal to bring back knuckle sandwiches. They used to be an integral part of our heritage and culture, now? Well, seems I’m the only one who remembers the good 'ol days. Oh sure, the concept never went away, but the vocabulary did. So who’s with me? Hmm? All you have to do is say the following line when someone makes you angry:
“You want a knuckle sandwich?”
(Of course, you have to brandish your fist at the same time for maximum effect)
My dad used to say, “I’ll paddle your canoe!” When I was little I thought “canoe” was slang for one’s backside. (Fortunately I learned by dad couldn’t count past three, and I only remember being spanked once.)
When I was three I heard my Dad say, “Wanna get slowed” (rhymes with plow). I’m 38 now and I still don’t know what that means and neither does anyone else in the family.
