Please share some of the weird expressions your parents use |
|
I saw some candy in a store today, and my father's words went through my head:
Candy is dandy, but sex won't rot your teeth.

6. My mother, who was born in the 1920s uses expressions such as |
|
"See you in the funnies" (as a lighthearted goodbye)
"Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite."
My father, who was born in 1911, used expressions such as
"That's the cat's pajamas" (translation: That's really good.)
