Sayings you remember from years ago

[BXHoosier]

If brains were dynamite, he couldn’t blow his nose

You can’t say anything stupid if you keep your mouth shut

 

[D2Cat]

Barking up the wrong tree.

Tighter then bark on a tree.

 

[Henro]

Put mind in motion before putting mouth in gear.

As did my mother whenever I would say "I wish..."

I've tried adapting it to "Want in one hand..." with my son (and to a lesser extent, my daughter) but something about a 5 year old brain doesn't really connect the dots.

First post intro: Howdy!

“I cut that hole three times and it’s still too big”
”tighter than two fat ticks on a horses ass”

 

[DaveFromMi]

From my Dad:
Your a** sucks buttermilk. Kind of like saying you're full of sh*t.

Poor people have poor ways.

“I cut that hole three times and it’s still too big”

You can always cut it shorter but you can't cut it longer.

 

[bmblank]

In reference to his kids seeing "questionable" content on TV or witnessing "questionable" behavior from said parent or the like... "It's nothing he won't learn on the school bus."

Having spent some time on the school bus.... Fact check true...

 

[Henro]

You can always cut it shorter but you can't cut it longer.

A different version of this same sage advice:

You can always cut off, but you can't cut on.

 

[Henro]

Measure twice, cut once.

Doesn't always work for me for some reason...

 

[dlsmith]

Should was and is was are two different things.

 

[ACDII]

Measured twice, cut three times and still got it wrong.

Go big or go home

Not on the left, Not on the right, but right down the middle.

 

[SteveBX23]

“Life goes on”

Learned that at a tender age for all the wrong reasons…

 

[58Ford]

Don’t let the door hitcha, where the good Lord splitcha!

 

[dlsmith]

I don't have to be right, I'm your boss.

 

[DaveFromMi]

The a** that you are kicking now might be the a** you have to kiss later.

 

[D2Cat]

That dog don't hunt.

Call in the dogs, pizz on the fire.

 

[Henro]

Just remembered one more:

Good, better, best
Never let it rest
Until the good get better
And the better get best!

 

[PoTreeBoy]

"Tripping over dollars picking up pennies"

 

[BXHoosier]

“A poor craftsman blames his tools.”

“Manager: a person who can’t do your job, telling you how to do it.”

Here’s one I came up with that fits some of my coworkers.
“Arrogance is a fools mask for incompetence.”
