What's the strangest saying you have ever heard?

[boston bean]

Here's one I heard today that I thought was a little strange and to say the least gross.

"I'm so hungry I could eat the asshole out of a skunk"

I never heard this before, has anyone else?

1. "Funna dip" several years ago.

It meant something like "getting ready to leave (for someplace)" although it was explained to me as "fixin' to leave" which also sort of made me cock my head.

2. a stitch in time saves nine

is pretty cryptic

although I know what it means, it sounds odd

[NNadir]

3. I am a compassionate conservative.

[MarkDevin]

4. "I like my women like I like the ocean: wet, salty, and full of seaweed."

[liontamer]

5. "you might as well pull up the bakery cart, and stick her in a muffin

cause she's done" It was said by a fabulous aussie woman

[Robb]

6. The dichotomy of the two-peckered goat

I've heard two sayings, "It's hotter than a two-peckered goat" and "It's colder than a two-peckered goat."

:shrug:

7. My grandmother used to say

"...my fine feathered idiot".

No, I have NO idea what it means.

8. I trust him about as far as I can spit a rat.

the first time I heard that, the mental image was especially graphic. I was thinking which end would you put in your mouth? What about the hair? Forgot all about the conversation.

9. Oh geez

not worth a pinch of coonshit in the Bay of Fundy

Mouth puckered up tighter than a whip-poor-will's arsehole

Lazier than a pet coon

Holy suffering bald-headed Jesus on a handcar

Hornier than a three-balled tomcat.

Tighter than a bull's arse in flytime.

MAKE ME STOP

13. lol, good ones. Give some more! nt

:rofl:

[achtung_circus]

17. As useless

as tits on a boar (or a bull).

[knowbody0]

10. stunned,

i heard a guy say "i wanna fuck the shit out of her"

i still do not understand

[Joe Fields]

11. Everybody to their own tastes, said the old lady, as she kissed the cow.

My father used to say this all the time.

[RumpusCat]

12. "S/he didn't lick it from a stone."

You say when someone's child exhibits a personality trait that they clearly got from one parent or the other--for instance, if you're a hard-head and your kid acts stubborn and you complain about it you friend would say, 'Well, she didn't lick it from a stone!'

Yeah, it's strange. I've only ever heard my mom and her siblings use it.

[YankeyMCC]

14. "Bob's your uncle"

It cracks me up every time even though I've only a vague notion of what it means. :)

[MrScorpio]

15. Great Googly Moogly!

I'd hate to meet this guy

[Metta]

16. Love is no potato.

Polish proverb. Still true.

[rustydog]

18. "Don't give me the hairy eyeball"

[MichiganVote]

19. The more you stir a turd, the worse it stinks

[LadyoftheRabbits]

20. "Butter my butt and call me a biscuit"

Southern phrase used to express surprise.

[IsIt1984Yet]

21. "Full of piss n' vinegar" has always struck me as odd.

[driver8]

22. "Slicker than whale snot on a door knob..."

A guy I used to work with said that all the time. I have no idea where he got it from.

[hotforteacher]

23. "Just 'cause you stick a kitten in the oven

don't make it biscuits"

This is from an old friend's mother who is from New Orleans. I was way too landlocked for this kind of "shared wisdom".
