Inspired by BELA's Things your Dad used to say thread, what are some things your MOM used to say ?
When my Mother saw a certain dinner guest coming up the walk, Mom would say: "Here she comes, one arm as long as the other."
^ Hahaha! :bouncegiggle:
My Ma came into me and Glenn's room while we were blasting BLACK FLAG and she screamed "It sounds like someone died and went to Hell in here!" :bouncegiggle:
If Mom didn't like somebody, she'd say "Boring! Oh so boring!"
When Ma went driving in NYC, she usta yell at people.
"Get outta the street you momo!"!
Not sure what a 'momo' is...
When someone said something wrong, debatable, or stupid, Mom'd say: "We'll draw the curtain of charity on that one."
"I'll make you cry on the other side of your face."
"You want a bike/sweet/whatever. I'll give you a bloody [insert item]."
When confronted with a smart remark: "You're funny, ha ha, but you're not funny ha ha ha."
" you just do that to bug me, don't you? it works too. " and then she'd laugh and make me do the dishes, or worse, VACUUM, for p**sing her off. took until i was 16 to get that through my head, lol!
Whenever I mentioned Dad she would mutter "That whoremaster..." :bouncegiggle: in her very heavy Bronx accent . 'Howah'- that's what it sounded like-like a 'hoe' and 'ah!'
" She'd suck a dick for a dollar!"
My Ma had no 'couth' at all! And she had eyebrows like Dracula! She had them plucked in 1959, and she used an eyebrow pencil..sometimes. Most of the time she ran around without eyebrows- which made her look even more crazy than she was, if that was possible.
And she had a stare that would drill right threw you. Only me and Glenn have that stare.
Me and Ma in 1985. On Long Island. I don't know what that green s**t is.
I was 23.

"Where did she find jeans that size?"
Whenever my mom saw an obese woman.

Doesn't appear to be random. Looks like it is wrapping around both your knees from front and coming back from behind your other knee :buggedout:

It wasn't there when the picture was took. I woulda noticed something like that. I always thought it was a film f**k up. I still do.
Otherwise- It's some ghost s**t! :twirl:
Even if it was some ghost s**t, I wouldn't have noticed, I was to busy listening to punk rock and drinking booze. I was in NY. I was from Michigan. I was nuts back then. Folks in NY thought I was weird. Folks in Michigan thought I was flat out crazy. I never fit in nowhere. I hated everything- not everybody! I got along with most folks fine!

When my mother used to see a school-days friend of hers she'd describe Katherine as a "Tall drink of water".
Katherine used to say: Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Mon used to say: "I eat so much chicken I could crow."
I will never forget what my Mom said when she was diagnosed with cancer: "If this is my road to heaven, I am taking it. And you are not allowed to question God!"
My mother would NOT serve a ham on Easter. She once said: "You don't serve ham on Easter! Jesus was Jewish!"

Ma usta say "Slow down! You eat like someone's gonna steal it!"
" there are kids starving in african orphanages who would love to eat those bread crusts you know!" * my big brother got grounded for putting them in an envelope and asking my momma for the address to the orphanage when he was 10, lol!*
"EGAD"
"GADZOOKS"
"you chew like a %$#@$#% gopher"
My father moved us so many times I can remember years by the house we lived in. Newton, NJ, 1968 or '69, I was maybe 7 and kids say silly things, especially if he's trying out new words. Mom brought home some great snack like Burry Fudgetown cookies and I said: "I adore those!"
She whirled around on me and snapped: "The only thing you 'adore' is God!" I never used the word again.
50 years later I love her for the lesson she taught me. She was always right. :thumbup:
Last night SOME LIKE IT HOT was on TCM and I watched it again. It's seriously implausible, stupid and funny. I LOVE IT! And I realized this was the movie one of our Momisms came from. JACK LEMMON says it to TONY CURTIS. "Not tonight, Josephine!"
"If you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about." (I stopped crying when I was around 40).
"This isn't a restaurant!"
"Christmas is just around the corner!" (She would start saying this right after Thanksgiving).
"She doesn't have a pot to p**s in or a window to throw it out."
