Best "Old People" Sayings

What's the funniest expression you've ever heard from an old person? For some reason, "Great Googly Moogly" always makes me laugh - I have no idea why. My grandma always used to say things like, "Jiminy Christmas" and "Don't flip your wig." I've also heard old people call their eyes "peepers", and so on. Old people can come up with some great ways of expressing themselves. What have you heard?

Not sure if this is really what you're looking for...but:
I like when older (old is a relative term) people call it "the facebook".
I love anything my mom says in relation to technology: "If I put the chip in the camera a different way will I see other pictures?" "I went to some recipe websites, is that why there are cookies on the computer?" and the best (which she called me to ask because my dad was on a trip) "How do I turn the TV on?" The power button, mom...the power button...

My grandfather always asks me what im doing on the calculator, aka computer lol. I work in a nursing home so I have heard alot of funny ones, just cant recall any right now.

"well that's neater than a pocket on a shirt."

"Its shining like a diamond in a goats butt."

And my all time favorite:
Me: "Wyndal, do you think this will work?"
Wyndal: "like windshield wipers on a ducks butt!"

Here's another one (this one's from my grandpa); "Shoot low, they're riding Shetlands." Who knows what it means, but it was a great saying.

I got a few more I thought of:

"oh now hes just talking with a paper a__hole"- dont really know what it means lol, one of the residents at my work said it to me

"watch out for your friends, or you might not have friends to watch out for"- this one is kinda eery... O.o

Me- "how ya doing pop"
Pop-"anyone i can, the easy ones twice."
-that one is kinda naughty :D

"imma hit you so hard that you'll die of starvation before you stop sliding"- i think my Pop said that one too but i may have heard it somewhere else like a tv show lol

Upon entering the Keg restaurant my gram said "it is as dark as the inside of a cow in here".

Her other favorite was "I will box your cheeky ears."

One that I always loved was any variation of jewelry tasting... As I if you don't stop being cheeky you will get a mouthful of mee-maw rings.

"If you don't hush up you will be tasting my abuelita's jewelry..."

My friends grandma is funny xD She calls us gerbils quite often.

Friend: "Grandma, come cuddle with me"
G-Ma: "Cuddle? I don't even cuddle with Grandpa!"

There have been many others but I can't remember right now. My friend and I talked about starting a show called "Grandparents Say The Darndest Things" :rofl:

A Shetland is a type of pony (a pony isn't a baby horse like most people think, they are different.) so this is saying shoot low because they're on a pony
