My grandma: "Relax, you'll die with that <injured bodypart>" - meaning it will heal and you'll make a full recovery. This one was often misunderstood by the younger children, making them cry a lot more rather than less. JC-LOL

My dad, when asked if he liked the food: "Yes, it was lovely, but it had a taste that the dog doesn't like" - meaning the food was very hot. As a young boy he really insulted his aunt with this on, until his mom explained it.

My mom: "The graveyard is full of indispensable people" - To/about people thinking themselves overly important.

#23 Lol, my Grandpa would say there was a frog that followed him around, and when he farted, he'd say: "There's that darned frog again!"
My other Granddad liked to tell me I was "a fine horse to bet on."

I’m old, and I’ve only ever heard #6 said by anyone.

My grandma used to say “home again, home again, jiggity jog” when arriving from a long trip.

When asking as a young lad, the answer to “what did you get me for Christmas/birthday/etc?” The response was “a layover to catch meddlers.”

She had many silly sayings.

He'd step over a dollar to pick up a dime

He's got a god sized hole

It's colder than a witches t*t in a brass bra in January

If it was up your @$$ you'd know it

That's outside of my bailiwick meaning outside of their expertise or area of interest
