"I used to walk eight miles to school, uphill both ways, into the wind, every day."

Relevant only if it will forever be the standard "You kids have it easy these days" dad complaint.

Must be a local adaptation here. In Canada I've always heard, "Walk 5 miles to school, uphill both ways in 3 ft of snow."

My dad uses snow, but I know it's a circumstantial element of the expression so I omitted it.

My grandmother said something was "elite" the other day. Did not know how to respond.

My grandmother used to say that she'd pulled a boner when she was talking about a mistake she made. It made me cringe every time.

It's not a colloquialism, but my grandma always uses "what's her face" to refer to women whose name she forgets, or doesn't care to remember. "Felicia" is the term my friends and I use for names we forget, or don't care to remember.
