Classic Dad Sayings

Posted by Don Martelli on Dec 19, 2009 in Rant |

Remember the scene in A Christmas Story when Ralphie and his dad were changing the flat tire? Ralphie was holding the hub cap and his dad hit it by accident and the bolts flew all over the place. As the bolts flew into the sky, Ralphie said….”Fuuuuuuuu(dge)”…but replace the dge with uck (even though we didn’t hear it).

That scene got me thinking about all the great saying my pops would have when he got upset or when he wanted to scream at someone without dropping the f-bomb.

Here are a few:

– What, did you get your license at Sears & Roebuck?
– Zip up your pie hole.
– Want a knuckle sandwich?
– Hey, the gas peddle is the one on the right.
– Look at “‘dis friggin’ guy.”
– What, did you go to China to get the food?
– This gonna be a long story?
– Either you eat it, or I’m gonna make you eat it.
– Go play in traffic.
– What do you charge to haunt a house?

There are a slew of others. What are some of your favorites?

Funny.. I think I will start some of my own now that I am a dad but here are two of my favorite Dad sayings growing up!

You can be dumb but don't be stupid.

Only stupid people start conversations.

Someone ought to do a list on Coach sayings..

Coach was pointing at a cast on a student.. He then asks the student,

“How long do you have to wear the cast?”

Student, “Oh the Doctor said 4-6 weeks!”

Coach, “Your lucky, somtimes its a month, month and a half”

Student, “Coach, that is 4-6 weeks!”

Coach, “Get out of here you wise guy!”

That's the truth! Heard it with my own ears..
