[Joker]

Whenever somebody had trouble doing something or they looked akward fumbling around my grandpa would say you look like a monkey fu###ng a football.

my grandfather, while fumbling for a keyhole would say, "Put some hair around it, and I could find it."

Both of your grandpas were awesome.

My parents often tll me to 'take a red' when I am being hyperactive.

]"Your ass is grass and I'm the lawn mower!" [/B]

I heard that quite often when I was around 9 or 10 years old.

Oh no no no. Who in the world came up that that one?? I heard many adults say that when I was a little guy ( er when I was young, I was never really little ) and I thought it was ridiculous. Sorry that your parents tortured you with it.

Whenever anyone was upset my dad would say:

"OK, ok, ok"

(always 3 times - what did he think that would make everything ok?)

My pops says "let's blow this Popsicle stand" in public.

What the hell is a popsicle stand, anyway?

 

[JayCaz]

What does "let's blow this popsicle stand" even mean, anyway?

Let's get the frick outta dodge

Let's exit said establishment

 

[JayCaz]

What the hell is a popsicle stand, anyway?

like a hotdog stall, only with popsicles

 

[Drizzle]

Let's get the frick outta dodge

Let's exit said establishment

Yeah, I edited my earlier statement because I knew what the phrase meant, I just didn't know what it was talking about.

The origins couldn’t have been earlier than the 1920’s. The San Francisco invention of the Popsicle was in 1924. “Let’s blow this joint” (leave this less than interesting place) may have been first and later the many variations including "Let's blow this fire-trap" or “Let's blow this popcorn stand”. In some parts of the U.S. a soda shop was called a pop stand so the phrase may have originated with “let’s blow this pop stand”.


Thankyou google.

There's an older mexican guy at my office who's originally from Staten Island, probably about late 50s and he says, and I kid you not, "leave us" do this or that. Exactly like on the old cartoons with the gangsters. It's hilarious as hell.

My Dad: "In like Flynn" is something he says when he's talking about something happening easily, which I guess refers to Errol Flynn, a great ladies man. Although my dad using a phrase that kinda refers to sex kinda scares me.
"Christ on crutches!" is yelled when he's upset.

My Mom: "Turn that candle off!"
