I Like to Use Words & Phrases That Haven’t Been Common For Decades, This Amuses The Boy, Who Is 15 Years Old…

@4meAndyou yeah…watching Westerns when they say things like Saddle Tramp, Scally Wag, Saddle Tramp, Sod Buster, Tin Horn. A lot of those words and phrases in Westerns.

@cherokeepatti "Paint the town red", "barn busters", "corn shuckers"....and so many more.

@4meAndyou Lollygaggers , wondering what kind of Lolly they were gagging on.

@cherokeepatti "Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it", certainly was NOT pot...🤣🤣🤣 "Bees in her bonnet", did NOT signify beekeeping...🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou One time when I was young and working at a Congregate Meal site (meals for the elderly) one of the Outreach workers came into the kitchen and saw the other cook’s aid moving around quickly doing things in the kitchen. She told her “You’re as busy as a blowfly”. She didn’t say that to me but I kind of got offended by that. Should have said busy as a bee, blowflies eat shit.

@cherokeepatti Busy as a bee, for sure. I remember that song, "Shoo fly, don't bother me, shoo fly, don't bother me, I don't need your company!" (My mother used to sing it).
