When someone annoys my mom, she says they melted her cheese.

There are articles about Gordon Bennett and his behaviors. He was engaged to a wealthy socialite. The woman's father hosted a party for them and Gordon Bennett was so drunk he mistook the fireplace for a toilet and urinated in it in front of everyone at the party. The brother of Gordon Bennett was reported to have horse-whipped him the next morning, and the engagement was broken off.

Yes, but I couldn't repeat them in public.

My mum used to shout "gordon bennett!

@Furry - Ha! My father used to say "Holy mackerel!"

Meowsolini: He had inherited wealth and was a journalist, there are many stories about him, but that one takes the cake...the fact that he was horse-whipped the next morning is something else...I guess the family was so embarrassed by what he did that they wanted to make sure he'd never come around there again.

"Carrie, do you have rocks in your head"? when I did something I wasn't suppose to.

Not my parents, but I did exclaim "holy guacamole" at Walmart one time, and made my niece laugh.

none of them were really the sort of thing I can post here, I think.

Especially my mother ! When she's speaking of someone being old, she refers to them as being "10 years older than baseball".

@Poizon - Ha! I like that! Is your mother from Wisconsin?

Dads were lie like a rug...

Mine didn't but I met a girl once who would go on and on about people "popping her bubble" (deflating her optimism by unpleasant theories or statements or harsh possibly/likely realities) lol

@Aradia - Crimany! Ha! I heard that a lot too!
