Hey Pandas, What’s An Uncommon Phrase That You Use? (Closed)

"You're like a fart in a hot skillet" It means too much nervous energy.

I use a few without thinking and people always laugh or are confused. I say radical which is well known but apparently not many people say it anymore. When someone says something stupid I say who would've thunk to show them how stupid. I also don't curse which is uncommon as a high schooler lol so I use things like poopy and jimminy crickets and other weird things like that. When I'm referring to something small I say wee like "I want only a wee bit of food" or "it was a wee while ago".

"ah f**k me I guess" ik it's a bit inappropriate but I use it a lot for ridiculous occurrences

At the start of this school year I was in a meeting with other teachers and I said, "This year is going to be a barn-burner." They had never heard the term before and thought it was hilarious. Now everything that happens is a "barn-burner".

When I eas in the navy we had a few, all your sh!t in one sock , meaning all together and ready, and d!cking the dog, meaning screwing off.

Are you gonna risk it for the biscuit?
I assume you know what that means

Never trust a meteorologist!

My grandmother used to say, "She/he makes my a** want a cup of coffee!"

Emphasis on a**. Not, me: my a**, but literally my a**, my bum!
I didn't understand this phrase for at least 10 years after I heard it but now I've experienced this person.

I'm in your balls. It's more unique than in your walls, and catches people off gaurd

Used to be real common (tons of years ago when I was a kid), but U don’t hear it much anymore … “who pooted”, or “U smell like a poot at a perfume counter” ( my Mom absolutely hated the word, and would pop my lil brother or me, anytime we said it )!

My partner always says “it’s hotter than Africa” and “it’s colder than a witch’s titty in an iron bra”

Any tougher I'd rust...

Chow-Down! For when dinner's ready. Also Ho-Dor for Hold the Door (from G. Martins books long before GOT came out.)

"I'm out making groceries" - "I need to make groceries"
When buying at the local grocery market

"Bet a nickel" and "Bet a coke". Both used as a way of saying you are sure enough about something to bet on it but you are not really a gambler so the bet is low. The nickel one is a lady I know who was old enough that a nickel used to be worth a little bit more. Maybe kind of like bet a dollar now. === The coke one is from when I was in the navy on aircraft carriers. Some divisions had a fridge and sold cold sodas. The going rate was a quarter. So a lot of card and backgammon games were played for a coke. Not a serious bet - just a modest prize if you won. == A related phrase was "I'll by if you fly". Meaning one person would pay for the sodas if the other person would walk to the other end of the ship to go get them. I've heard that a couple of times in the wild outside the navy and wondered if they were also ex military.
