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.

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.

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".

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.
