Extreme Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Here's an example, Biff from Back To The Future " Make like a tree, and get outta here." this was an insatnt classic, and I use it to this day. I have also noticed i hear a few people I know consistently say the wrong thing all the time......My boss says "smart move ex-lax." My old boss used to say when he'd get a lot of money that we was gonna be "****ting through silk", even though it was supposed to be farting through silk. dirty old man.....who here has heard more of these anomolies?

halter91 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Kind of like when Tommy Boy says, you can get a good look at a steak by sticking your head up the butchers ass, but wouldn't you rather take the bulls word for it? This "slow" guy at work is kinda goofy, and when he gets mad he always comes up with these goofy sayings, so i will mock him and say don't mess with the horns, you'll get the bull. he hets all pissed off and it's so damn funny.

Om Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 You guys didn't read the question. Not old saws. Old saws used WRONG. Listen to Coach Thompson and Doc Walker in afternoon drive sometime. Those two'll slay more old saws and mix more metaphors in two hours than you can shake all the tea on a warthog at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herrmag Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 My all-time favorite: "I could care less". It's "I COULDN'T care less". If you say that you could care less, then you're telling people that there are other things that you care less about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Various and sundry ... not various insundry. Love of money is the root of all evil ... not money is the root of all evil. No, more Americans did NOT vote in the American Idol final than did in the last Presidential election ... you don't get to vote 500 times for President unless you're a mob boss.

Thiebear Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 my boss once said: "Were tempting faith": I busted out laughing...

ashburnskinsfan Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I (unfortunately) know a lot of (feeble) jokes where the punch line was a saying such as: A hod is as good as a sink to a blind Norse. or: People in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones. They're not funny enough to be worth repeating as their only point was the punchline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 just looked. No asundry in the dictionary. So I guess "various and asundry" can be added to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
