Do you remember what we put in that eye cup?   ;)

The saying "colder than the balls on a brass monkey" does not refer to what you might think. A brass monkey is what the cannon balls were stacked on on civil war era battle ships. I started to add that one to my first post but didn't know if it would be frowned upon
Also: "colder than a witches t.t

A couple I remember from my mother:

  He would cut off his nose to spite his face.
  Beggars can't be chosers.
  Running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

"You better mind your P's and Q's" is one I never understood other then I knew it meant you better watch your step.

Remember when flipflops were called thongs and thongs were something you wore on your feet on the beach, not up your keester and crocs were something that ate people from down under?  I never thought about that until one day I was getting things around to go up to the cabin and I mentioned to Tammy I needed a pair of thongs to wear to the shower and just around the inside of the cabin.  My daughter became horrified and disgusted, not knowing the "obsolete" meaning of thongs and thinking I was going up North so I could wear them around the cabin. :D

"Mr." and "Mrs."

Maybe its just that I live further north than when I grew up.  But adults around here resist being called "Mr." and "Mrs."
