Anyone ever hear these terms???

When I was a kid my great grandpa would answer "a dollar two ninety eight" when I asked how much something cost...it meant "you ain't getting it"

My great grandma used the Eleventy-seven term, but I can recall when or whey...
 
My grandpa could be a salty old dog...I remember asking what time it was and got "Half past a crickets ass and a quarter til his balls" and he taught all us kids a great poem about Allegheny Mountain...
 
I had a grandfather like that, if he got pissed at you he'd say "If they took your brain and stuck it up a gnats ass, it would like a BB in a boxcar". Or he'd just say "go sh*t in a hat. Very loving Grandparents....
 
Why I asked "why?" as a child, my aunt would say "Why (Y?) is a crooked letter!" Never got any answers.

"If brains were dynamite you wouldn't have enough to blow your nose."
"If brains were gasoline you wouldn't have enough to drive an ants motorcycle around a penny."
and my favorite.
"Your IQ is so low it has to look up to see down."
 
Of course, there are always valuable words of wisdom from Patches O' Hoolihan.


"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."

I'd say those are pretty good words of advice, right there.
