    Ask a stoopid question, the answer that came back was "cat got a climbing gear???" or "does a bear poop in the woods??".

    Colder than a witches tit.

    Wait, I thought this thread was to be about phrases from childhood times. Those 3 above are still in common use - aren't they? I say them quite often.

    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    Banks gave you a toaster or some small home appliance when you opened an account.
    Grocery stores gave out green stamps, and only had paper sacks.
    The Interstate Hi-way system wasn't complete yet outside of big cities.
    Only big luxury cars had front disc brakes.
    It was common to see a after market, under the dash airconditioner if a car didn't have AC from the factory.

    Darn, some of these I had completely forgotten about.
    Like glass wear in detergent boxes, my mama had a collection of glasses from them
    Books of Eagle, top value, and green stamp books.
    Making her own lye soap, ringer wash machine, side by side rinse tubs.
    Hell, she even made her own wine and root beer.
    Man those were great days

    'Take ya out behind the woodshed'.
    'He's got a burr under his saddle'. 'She's got a bee in her bonnet'.
    The word 'gay' meant happy.
    Dish towels came in bags of Gladiola flour. Grandma made her own buttermilk.
    Milk was delivered to your door in glass bottles.
