If my grandpa wanted me to get out of his way he'd say "You need to shit or get off the pot". I still use it to this day.

Growing up, my grandfather would call my cousins and I a "wampus kitty" out of affection. To this day, I still have no idea what the hell a wampus kitty is.

Could they be a distant relative of the wampa from Star Wars?

A wampa mixed with a big cat... mother of God, that's scary as hell.

It's a turn on the phrase "kattywampus" which means awkward or unorganized. My gramps always had a cat he called Wampus.

Well hell, didn't even think of that. All these years and I never thought of making that connection.

Whenever my grandma gives us grandkids money she always says "Don't spend it or lose it but have a good time." I have never known what it means but it has an amazing rhythm to it.

My favorite one was "It takes ten 'ata boys' to equal one 'aw shit' "

I've got an interesting family, but here are the top 3 that I can think of at the moment.

  • My great grandmother on nudity: "If they haven't seen it before they won't know what it is, and if they have it's nothing new."
  • My steps mom's dad: "Jumped up, gerry-eyed Jeeesus CHRIST!" His favorite curse. Not sure why I always loved that one, but it's just got such a ring to it.
  • My embittered father after his first divorce: "If it flies, floats or fucks rent it, it's cheaper." As a divorced man who has spent the majority of his life dealing with boats, helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, I find this increasingly hard to refute.

Some sayings that translate in a weird way from Spanish:

"I was just checking the temperature of the tamales" is a way of saying "I was just testing you".

This one seems less common but one family member says that "the tortilla has turned" meaning something similar to "the tables have turned"

OMG. I'm stealing that. I'll use any excuse I can get to say the word "hooker".
