Obviously common ones everyone still uses aren't that interesting. I'm looking for sayings you never hear anymore and a 20-year old might not even know.

I think almost all of these come from my stepdad, who grew up near Port Arthur, TX (Nederland), and had a lot of sayings.

colder than a well diggers a**hole (also witches tit)

better than a sharp stick in the eye

got more ______ than Carter's got little liver pills (no idea)

I'd-a had kittens

My mother's version of this is "better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick." I use it about 10 times a week.

After leaving a door open: "What are you doing, heating up South Jersey"?

When threatening a beating: "I'll throw so many punches at you that I'll blot out the sun".

If you had, I'm sure you would have contributed this to the thread:

So did you get into Ryan's pants or not? I need closure.

My read Dad always used to tell me he'd "stuff me through the keyhole". Oh yeah and "tough noogies".

Two from my Dad.

His default exclamation of frustration is "**** a Duck" . If it's really bad, sometimes it's "**** SEVERAL DUCKS".

Also I knew I was in trouble whenever he called me "Jack" (which is in no way shape or form my name obv).

"she was hotter than a two dollar pistol" and because of that we can substitute "she was" with "x was/is hotter than a two dollar pistol"

(taken from a country song yet my dad used this all the time)
