Just was thinking of some childhood sayings and thought it might be interesting to hear some you were told.
“If at first you don’t succeed, try try again”
“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”
Stuff like that.
Any of these little sayings that you remember being told or hearing as a child?
My grandad and dad both used to like to say, no sincere effort goes unrewarded
“I am not a police officer”
“This is not a hotel”
And of course
“I hope you will get kids just as annoying as you are”
An actual saying I heard early on and that I am still fond of though is: “if you point your finger to someone else, three fingers are pointing your way”
My old grandpa said donkeys years ago. Respect your elders - but if they are rude, give them hell - they have had years to learn to be a bstard. And they will play on it.
It takes pain to be beautiful
My grandmother used to say “if I were a rich ■■■■■”
My dad used to say “tough titty said the kitty but the milk’s still good”
My grandmother used to say “well I swan!”
And “Warm hands warm heart dirty feet no sweetheart”
My Dad said these quite often:
“If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all”
“Getting bored is for boring people” (to combat the endless “I’m booooored” kids often do)
“If you keep making that face the wind will change and you’ll be stuck like that” (usually said during kids make stupid/ugly faces XD)
I like this one. It actually makes sense.
My dad told me before basketball games to give it my 110%
“Better than a poke in they with a sharp stick.”
