The other day I heard a old-timer call a guy a 'Stick-Up Artist" because his store prices were too high.
My father lended to the conversation that people used to used terms like...
- Floor Flusher
- Windbag
- Pole Cat
I don't know whay they meant, but they are funny.
WHAT EXPRESSIONS HAVE YOU HEARD OR USED, and what did it mean?

You don't know the difference between "Sh-t from Shinola"
Don't Sh-t in my shoe...

A stick-up artist is a thief; a four-flusher (if I recall correctly) is someone who cheats at cards. A windbag is someone who talks to much (which should be self-explanatory), and 'polecat' is another name for skunk.

Toe Jam = someone disgusting
Lint Licker = Not sure
Peckerwood (could only venture a guess)
Dingleberry (I can't...too gross)
Sit on an egg and rotate (never got that one)
Gag me with a dead smurf (self explanatory)
you're pulling my leg = you're joking right?

1920's - That's the bee's knees! (that's, like, totally awesome!)
1950's - Gee whiz! (holy crap!)
1970's - Up your *** with a piece of glass! (a very rare retort that I once heard to passthedutchie's answer)
1990's - You better not be yanking my chain! (I hope you're not lying)
2000's - Oh, snap! (one of my favorites, probably means a less vulgar "Oh, sh**!")

"Nervous as a cat in a roomful of rocking chairs" means you are as nervous as a cat who is afraid that one of the chairs will cut his tail off.
"Walk on Eggs" to be really careful
There are some others, but these are the ones I can think of offhand.

This also explains why Dick isn't a common name anymore. You know what my mom does. When she eats spaghetti and meatballs, she sucks the juice out of balls and give them for me to eat. I can't believe they don't realize how groast they are.
