Answer 2

My grandmother said :

"When the wolf is at the door love goes out the window" and
"I have never seen a drunk sit on a hot stove".

Which is a really good point when you hear so many defendents claim they were too drunk to know what they were doing -

And my favourite: "Dont do anything you wouldnt want to see on the front page of the newspaper" :-) That covers a heck of a lot of "stuff" IMO (in my opinion)

My Grandfather said "A whistling girl and a crowing hen are sure to come to some bad end" What that means I have no idea .......

My mother was always saying "What will the neighbours think?"

Answer 3

My mum did not have any strange sayings like that but I often eat cheese before I go to bed and it had never bothered my.

Answer 4

If I asked Grandma too many times what we were having for supper she'd say, "Fried ice and wind puddin". If the part in my hair was not straight, Mom would say, "Bring a comb and come here. Your parts as crooked as a dog's hind leg" Grandma and Pap always called 'cottage cheese' : 'smearcase'....I think that was from how they were raised (German or Irish, I forget). Mom always insisted we smile and look people in the eye when being introduced and stand quietly by her side. Dad told us if we got in trouble at school and got a whippin, we was getting another one when we got home ( I never got a whippin at school) Mom always said "Treat people how you want treated".

Answer 5

I was raised by my Grandparents and heard so many " sayings" every day. If Grandma thought someone was doing or saying something wrong she would say that they were talking out of the wrong side of their mouth. Grandpa used to tell me not to count my chickens before they were hatched if he thought I was being overly anxious about something or some event coming up. If Grandma thought two scoundrels were in a scheme ( or as she called it, in cahoots) with each other she'd say they were as tight as bark on a tree or as thick as thieves. I miss them so

Answer 6

Don't waste food, save money for "the rainy days", and a true and real friend is tested at the time of necessity. Some of the old sayings my mother used to to tell me.

Answer 7

It doesnt count. Ive heard human beings from around the worldwide use mom and Mum. I fairly have british buddies who use the two. I used to stay in South Africa, human beings used the two. I fairly have american buddies who use the two. Its very own determination.

Answer 8

My grandmother always warned us not to sit on the ground, or we would catch a cold. This was even more likely if you went outside without a hat on!!

To this day, we kid my mother by saying, "Call the ambulance, I'm going outside without a hat to sit on the ground."

:o)

Answer 9

my mum says:

about people - if you want to know me come live with me

if you're bored of london you're bored of life

if they burned me for a fool they'd get wise ashes

god only knows

and your mum is right - cheese does give you nightmares - well it does me anyway!

Answer 10

Well my Nan used to say 'if the wind changes your face will stay like that' Oh deary me I wish I had listened and kept away from the tweezers and shoe horn.
