The other day I was headed out in the early morning, and realized when I stepped outside it was a bit chilly!!.. well for California standards anyway.
That's when an old saying my Grandma used to use popped into my head. That got me thinking about all the other old sayings my amazing Grandma use to say. There were quite a few.. some I can't really repeat on here, though. lol
One of her sayings was.. "He's a bald faced liar!"
.. What?! What in the world does that mean?? Who in the world came up with such a saying??
Was there a time in the past when people believed that only those that couldn't grow a beard were big liars!?
TRUTH be told, those with beards just hid behind their lies! Sorry I got carried away..
Another saying Grandma had: "It's colder than a witch's booby (didn't exactly say booby) on a shadow side of a mountain"... Now.. I get the shadow side of a mountain, but a witch? And what does her boobies have to do with anything? Wouldn't her nose, or her hands be colder? What is a witch doing on a mountain anyway, and why are her boobies so cold?
I think it should be "its colder than a goat's ears, on a shadow side of a mountain." Now, that would make more sence!
Oh here's a good one: "I'm hotter than a coal diggers butt hole."..... WHAT?!!? Now, I realize that its extremely hot in those cavarns while coal diggers are diggin' for coal, however why oh why are we thinking about his butt hole?! gross!
Why not coal diggers, feet! I mean those things have to be hot and sweaty in those socks and boots!
I don't know, maybe our generation is just not as creative as my Grandma's generation. They just knew how to sprinkle it with flair!
