Best "Old People" Sayings

Men in my family often say "I've gotta go see a man about a horse (or sometimes dog)" when having to go to the bathroom.

And i don't hear this much from young people, but to older generations here "Bless their heart" is a nice way of calling someone stupid.

Yes "bless their heart" is one of my grandmas favorites lol. This reminded me of some other ones of hers:
When it is cold outside or she finds something to be cold she says "its colder than a blue bean!" or the opposite "its hot as a beast!"
Also whenever she orders steak or chicken at a resterant and they ask how she wants it cooked she says:"i want it well done, but dont kill it!"

My grandparents say "sell your encyclopedias" or "we dont need all of your encyclopedias"....lol

Some personal favorites:

"Wrong like two boys in a closet"

"Sharp as the leading edge of a bowling ball"

"Like eating soup with a fork"

And my all time favorite, at the top of your lungs...

"Hammer Swingin' Jesus!"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Your family reunions must be a riot!

One I picked up from my Uncle Lee, rest his soul, was this :

"That fella's lower than an snakes belly in a wagon rut."

Being snake owners, we all know that's pretty darn low.
