Question

When I was a little girl my Grandfather used to tell me this and it used to scare me the way he said it!!" The night was dark and dreary the billy goat was blind he ran into a barbed wire fence and scratched his never you mind!" Now that I'm older.....a lot older I have fond memories of him but this line always stuck with me!! He was from Glasgow Scotland and I live in Canada born and bred here!!Do you happen to know any other sayings? I loved him very much and can still here him laughing after he said this to me!! I get it now but at the time it was like a ghost story to me!!

Answer 1

Here are some favorites from my grandpa from Shannon, Ire.:

His favorite was "Angus McMeenis had a forty foot penis and he showed it to the lady next door; she thought is was a snake, and she hit it with a rake, and now it's only two foot four!" (grandma didn't like that one!)

Gaelic "Glac bog an saol agus glacfaidh an saol bog tú" - English: "Take the world nice and easy, and the world will take you the same."

Gaelic "Is milis dá ól é ach is searbh dá íoc é."
English: "It is sweet to drink, but bitter to pay for"

Gaelic "Is minic a bhris béal duine a shrón"
English "It is often that a person's mouth broke his nose."

And my personal favorite:
"A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest."

A toast to Celtic Grandfathers; the lives they lived, the courage they showed, and the memories they created!

Here's some welsh ones for you = We are celtic so we qualify

Welsh = Mae chwarae'n troi'n chwerw os yn chwarae fo tan,
English = Playing turns bitter when playing with fire

Welsh = Nid da lle gelli'r gwell. Ond gwell lle a gellir wella.
English = No good when can be better. But better when improved.

Welsh song = Cits yn y goc yw peggi wp i fewn yn stedi , Tyn i fas ar ol cal blas a walle gei di fabi (Carmarthenshire dialect)

English . = Grab my **** old peggy stick it in stead, Pull it out when i shout and you might have a baby.

Uncle gwyn has a 10 foot dick and he's quite a lad. The woman nextdoor with her sharp sharp strimar and now its only 4 foot 2.

Answer 3

Sounds silly but whenever my nose itched, my great grandmother would always say " My Nose itches (pronounced "eaches" in South Ga..lol), I smell peaches, Grab a young man by the seat of his breaches".
I have no idea what she meant by that but alot of older people around here have the same saying. I just always thought it was funny.

Answer 4

Billy goat's blind is a traditional game, kind of like 'pin the tail on the donkey' in which you do the game blindfolded.

Answer 5

Red sky at night is a shepherds delight, red sky in the morning is a shepherds warning

I always like this best. It's a Father's Blessing...

No matter how grown-up you are. "

Not really sure what kiind of 'saying' you are asking for. Sounds like that was something your grandad made up to make you laugh but it isn't a saying.
