I may be dating myself here, but who remembers the phrase, "If you don't like it you can lump it".

Answer 1

Yes I do and you are a wise man. Best words I've heard all night!
☺

Answer 2

The mid '50s is as far back as I can remember, so it has to predate that. Like it or lump it was one of my mother's sister's favorite replies, and where I first heard it. I like to say it to my daughter when something beyond her control comes up. I get some really puzzled looks.

Answer 3

I think I first heard that phrase in 1958!! Oops! I just dated myself ,too.

Answer 4

You weren't by any chance born in 1951 making you 55 years old? If yes, when you date yourself - where do you take yourself and who pays?

Answer 5

I do. Yes we do date ourselves but honestly I don't know who or what some of these quesitons are about the modern day actors and singers, pop stars, etc.

Answer 6

i remember it very well. i told my son's dad that 4 years ago and he lumped it. and my boy is 4 so it's still true.

Answer 7

My mom used this on an almost daily basis, so I remember it. I'm 24, and am sometimes tempted to say it. You haven't 'dated yourself', don't worry!

Answer 8

I remember the phrase...it doesn't make to much sense though does it????

Answer 9

Ohhhh yeah....I remember that one....forgot about until you brought it up! Thank you for reminding how old I am getting....and thanx for making me laugh on a rainy Saturday night!

Answer 10

I am 47 and that was my Dads favorite saying besides "people in hell want icewater" everytime I asked for something!
