Instead of swearing my mother would with say Snivelswitch or Son of a seacooks dishclothe.
never heard other families say "oy vey" growing up. As an adult I learned it's a Jewish saying, and I asked my mom if we are Jewish and she just said no, lol
lol, Hebrew?
Ah right. Should've known, but I wrote this comment at midnight.
I don't have any good ones but apparently my partner's mom used to "jokingly" tell the kids "you're special with a capital R" (back when that word was in fashion)
Not quite a suitable answer, but I concocted the saying “stop negatizing”. My parents then used the term against me throughout my childhood when I would pout or mope around.
I quite like the saying.
My grandpa would say "I'm hungry enough to eat the ass out of a skunk..."
Pretty sure it was just for shock value
I too could eat at dennys
