Old/Funny Sayings Your Grandparents Had.

Degag

Not sure if there have been threads on this before....

Not something one of my grandparents said but i heard this last night...

A friend of mine's father was commenting on people's tendancy to go out to restaurants to eat "these days." He said,

"Years ago we used to come in to eat and go out to sh!t, now they come in to sh!t and go out to eat!"

A bit crude but i couldn't stop laughing when i heard it.

So AH, any other sayings you've heard from the older generation?

...she meant physalis, a fancy fruit she had bought in dunnes.

"I didn't sign that "Do Not Resusitate" form!"

How we laughed....

My Granny doesn't like muslims and indians. She waves her fist at them driving her car and usually tells me they are all going to hell.

Upon learning that a single woman from the area was pregnant for the 5th time I overheard this conversation between my Grandad and the postman,

G: I hear your wan up the road is gone again?
P: So I believe . . . Any idea who got caught for it?
G: Put it this way, when you eat a plate of beans you don't know which one makes you fart. :eek:


I cried laughing.

I had an oldish man subbing me for Irish for the Leaving Cert once, and he said, "Your Irish answers should be like miniskirts. Short enough to keep you interested, but long enough to cover the subject".
