Soory, but D. Savage = cool. R. Hall = dork. No connection there, though I like the concept and expression Pegging. Seriously, though, if there's any value to the opinion of the person who actually started this topic, I was thinking of expressions from before the particular expresser was born, and if possible 50 - 100 years before the expresser was born, in general. Not that being off topic is bad, but for what it's worth, etc, etc.

Oooh!  I just remembered one that a friend's grandmother used to say.  

"Heavens to Betsy and Wild hosss' Buns!"  

I swear, it was a single expression.  And, for some reason, I always imagined it Initial Capped.

Heh. It's funny how the pendulum swings between eras. In our "po-mo, post-industrialist" society, the attenuation of meaning seems to have defined our entire existence. We've got a commercialized zeitgeist, if you will, something that has raided the past and laquered it until it's become sanitized and commercially-sanctioned. This in and of itself is NOT a new idea--volumes have been written about this search for meaning. Going back to Achewood, we'e pretty much recycled all that we can. Finding new meaning in phrases like, "Don't be a square" ('50s beatnik slang recycled by Tarantino in the early '90s) is fine and all, but it seems like we've got to start digging further and further in order to find something that seems fresh and original.

Yeah, the whole “What Would Jesus Do” spin-offs are kind of tired at this point. I wouldn’t want to be thought of as a guy who used old ideas to promote himself.

I won't.

And you lose another 3 points for shoehorning the word "zeitgeist" into your post.

We get it. You're smart. Let's move on.

I'm sorry, jough.

ITT we chat about old-but-good expressions. Discuss.

(P.S. it was actually a crowbar, not a shoehorn.)

I don't know what ITT stands for, and I don't want to. No more of that, please.

Sorry, I guess none of you guys are goons...?

Anyhow, ITT just means, "In This Thread".

I will refrain from using it if it bothers you, however.

My grandma seems to have difficulty making it through an entire week without using "piss like a racehoss" and/or "tit in a wringer" so I've picked up both of those.

I like her - does she smoke cigars, drink whiskey, play pool, and spit?

Wow, and I thought the time as a kid that my father introduced me to the phrase "snot locker" and I used it incessantly for three weeks was bad.

My dad was constantly telling me to "blow that snot locker!" And my best friend's dad would say, "you think you're hot snot on a silver platter but you're just a cold booger on a paper plate."

No, but I said you were all over this thread like Heinz has pickles.
