How many sayings can you recall from your childhood?
Back in the day there was, "Heavens to Murgatroyd". My oldest son stop by one day with a used car he had bought. I said something to him about driving a Jalopy. He said, "What the heck is a Jalopy?" Some of the ones I remember: "Carbon Copy" "Hung out to dry" "Straighten up and fly right" "You sound like a broken record" "A fine kettle of fish" "I'll be a monkey's uncle" "It's your nickel" "See ya later, alligator" "After while, crocodile" Being accused of being a "Knucklehead", "Nincompoop", or a "Pill"
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
