Old sayings......

Old sayings.......

Ok folks we have had so much fun with the word association and forgive me if this has been done before but who can think of any old sayings?

you know the one we use often like:

Live and let live.. :


It works if you work it...


You are making a rod for your own back...


keep coming back...


Ther'll be tears before bedtime....


Keep coming back.....


There may be some wierd and wondeful ones your grandma used...there may be some which will require explanation....

"eee you look like you've been sucking a cow's ar**e through a hurdle"

(meaning look at the state of you boy!!) ha ha

I hope that you will have some great ones to share , if not make up your own with or without an explanation!!!

Love to you all!

Ne'er cast a clout till may is out.

You shoulda gone before ya came!

That one's three sheets ta'the wind.

She's like a fart in a collander.

I'd rather tap dance on a landmine.

I'd rather peel my skin off and role around in salt.

'Bout as much use as a chocolate teapot/firguard.

That went over about as well as a fart in church.
That went over as well as a lead baloon.
What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?

Assuming makes an a$$ out of u and me.

Too old to know better too young to resist

An apple a day will keep the doctor away.

Do unto to others as you would have them do to you.

If I had friends like you I wouldn't need any enemies.

The grass is greener on the other side.

Enough is enough.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck.

The sh!ts gettin deeper.

Youre in hot water.

Hes in the doghouse again.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Two wrongs dont make a right.

Youre all that and a bag of chips. Not so old but a saying anyways.

Dumb as a doorknob.

Dumb as a box of rocks.

2 sandwiches short of a picnic.

2 bricks short of a load

Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.

elevator goes all the way to the top but does not stop at all the floors.

His/her brain is out chasing butterflies.

Green as a goose.

Green as a gourd.

Got a bad case of the stupids.

"I'll be on you like a hog on slop".

"It's so cold, it would freeze the ba!!s off a brass monkey".

"Slicker than greased owl s!!it"!

"Snug as a bug in a rug".

hold yer dang horses


Anywhere you hang your @ is home.

The e-mail of the species is deadlier than the mail.
A journey of a thousand sites begins with a single click.

You can't teach a new mouse old clicks.

Great groups from little icons grow.

Speak softly and carry a cellular phone.

C:\ is the root of all directories.

Don't put all your hypes in one home page.

Pentium wise; pen and paper foolish.

The modem is the message.

Too many clicks spoil the browse.

The geek shall inherit the earth.

A chat has nine lives.

Don't byte off more than you can view.

Fax is stranger than fiction.

What boots up must come down.

Windows will never cease.

In Gates we trust (and our tender is legal).

Virtual reality is its own reward.

Modulation in all things.

A user and his leisure time are soon parted.

There's no place like ( http://www.)home(.com)

Know what to expect before you connect.

Oh, what a tangled website we weave when first we practice.
Speed thrills.

Give a man (or for that matter anyone) a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to use The Net and he won't bother you for weeks.

You made your bed now lie in it.

Life is a Bit#h!

Eat sh!t and die!

Three sheets to the wind

quiet as a mouse

sharp as a tack
