My Dad really liked the term Dummy Up.
When he wanted us to be quiet, that is what he would say. To US, it sounded as if he wanted us to act like idiots and make stupid grunting noises.
His logic was that in HIS time, a "dummy" was a mute...a person that could not speak.
It is still a dumb *** way to say SHUT up.
He is now dead.

Whenever I would hurt myself my dad would always say “that will feel better when it quits hurting”. I’ve used it with my kids and now they use it with their kids.

My best friends Dad when we were growing up would always say
"Give it ********" when he wanted you to try your very best to do something.
He would also say "Kick her in the guts" when he would start the car.

If my Dad thought one of us kids were telling a lie he would say "Your Fibbing" My mom used to use a lot of terms that I can't even post.

Dad was a truck driver so he had plenty of good one liners.
1. You drive like old people f - - - !
2. Flip them upside down, they all look alike.
3. Any Port in the storm.
4. Ugly girls need love too !

"crazier than a bag of hammers without the handles"
"flatter than piss on a platter"
"your arse is a star" still don't understand this one,but it was usually said when pissed off at me about something!
"tell that broad to put some clothes on"
"if she swallowed a walnut she's look pregnant"
"you think your a movie star"

I suspect this one is " You have made an *** of yourself for everyone to see".

I had an drill instructor in basic training in 1975, who would say that when talking about being quiet, when moving around the enemy..." When your sliding through the tall grass, like a snake with a howitzer, you gotta "Dummy up" or your gonna become a crater when a mortar lands on your dumb ***." In that context the meaning was very clear....lol.

Are you storying to me? (lying)

Ghostrider 67 · Dec 7, 2019

My Dad would say, " Stop digging..." when he realized we were crafting a lie....also, " Go ahead and climb out of the hole..."

A couple from my Dad: Whenever a car in front of us did something stupid or weird, my Dad would say "He's probably drunk!". Always. LOL
One morning when we were camping, he wanted me to get up and out of the trailer bunk. I was slow to awake and he finally yelled, "David, get vertical!!"

When I worked at a garage/gas station, we had this old codger, Gordon, working there pumping gas part-time. He was a crusty and funny old guy (he was probably only in his 50s!). Anyway, I'm pretty sure he was an alcoholic, and he used to always say "F*** 'em all but 6! You just need 6 to carry the casket."

Ironbuilt · Dec 7, 2019

I worked for my Dad at his truck repair shop until he died. Every time I made a mistake or did something he didn't like I would begin my excuse with "But I thought...".
His response was always the same..."I DON'T PAY YOU TO THINK!!!"
