I am feeling playful. I decided to start this topic because I was sitting here thinking that I feel so good, if I felt any better, I would have to be twins to hold it all.

Now that's a cliche and my favorite way to answer the question "How are you?" Another answer to the question "How are you?" - "Finer than frogs hair."

"How's life treating you?" - My favorite answers: "Like a baby treats a diaper." or "It's a dog-eat-dog world and I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear." (Norm Peters - Cheers)

Go ahead - unload some trite phrases, silly sayings, cliches and euphemisms. I'll be watching.

If a customer asks how I'm doing, I answer "If I was any better, I'd be you!" It's a kiss-up phrase, but it always makes them laugh.

If one of my girls says, "I'm sorry." I respond with, "Yup, sorriest one I've got!" (mother of the year?)

During bouts of frustration, Kevin's liable to sarcastically mention that life is all rainbows and unicorns.

"How are you?" Can't complain, nobody would listen.

"What's up?" The moon.

Funnily enough, I heard a very old Lancashire saying just yesterday. When shocked by a piece of unexpected news such as "My little Jonny scored A+ on his math paper", the reply would be "Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs". I have no idea how the saying came about.

After a little Googling, I'll take this explanation:
Quote:
My understanding of it is that the person has just heard an amazing piece of information which is so important that it needs to be communicated immediately to the other people in the household (who happen to be upstairs). Therefore you go tho the foot of the stairs in order to shout it up to the others so that they can hear. An even more exciting bit of news would result in the person rushing up the stairs to tell them. So "I'll go the foot of our stairs" refers to something which is moderately fascinating, but not totally fascinating.
(Thank you http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Phrases-and-Sayings/Question13527.html )

My grandma, when referring to someone's age, always said they were "older than black thread." Another one she uses is "older than dirt."

When my housemate Robin was asked "How's life?" She had three stock answers:
"It's a tasty cereal."
"It's a fascinating board game."
"It's an award winning magazine."

Occasionally if someone asks me "How are you?" I'll pause, put my finger tips up the pulse point on my neck and look down at my watch for a few seconds, before replying in tones of mild surprise "Still alive!"

That guy is sharp as the edge of town.

He's two sandwiches short of a picnic.

I'm so tired I feel like I've been dragged through a knothole.

Sometimes down south, "Bless his heart" is a rather polite way of expressing not so nice sentiments.

Yeah, that usually precedes a rather damning statement. By some nice lady. :)

Dumber than a box of rocks. Or a sack of hammers. Half a bubble off of plumb. Most people have heard all of 'em.

We had a saying back in the eighties when someone suggested an activity or destination to our party hearty selves: "Might as well. Can't dance and it's too windy to haul rocks". I don't know if that was just a local saying or not.

One of my silly sayings, usually to my co-workers about other co-workers or clients when they've done something dumb is..."he's (or she's) not the brightest light in the hallway!"

Our adults in our family have always warned the kids that if they didn't stop (whatever) they'd get a double peckyeckus in their gazulium.

If someone is sort of sick and doesn't really know what's wrong, then they have a peckyeckus.

When my sisters and I were young and started acting bad in the car, my mother would treaten us with "If I have to pull this car over....heads will roll!" Not sure what that means excactly, but it did NOT sound good and worked to make us behave.

Often, if someone asks me "What's the deal?"
I'll reply: "How should I know? I'm not playing with a full deck!"

My sweet, loving and kind* Great Grandmother used to say, "Well, bless his pointed little head." We were kids, we had no clue. And there's a good chance she didn't understand the implication herself.

*And that woman was meaner than snake spit. (Who wouldn't be after 13 kids?)

One of my favorite euphemisms is one I learned here recently, from Rachel, bless her heart. :mrgreen:

Some examples from my blog:

There's a man in Conyers, GA, who always wishes us a day that is "finer than a frog's hair split four ways." It always makes me giggle.

I've heard many variations on the "a (couple) X short of a Y" theme, and the "not the (superlative for a trait) (object) in the (container)" theme. I've made a few up for different situations and different audiences.

Local variation here is “Might as well. Can't dance and it's too wet to haul plow”.

‘How am I? Alive, much to the consternation of both exes’

Acknowledging agreement: ‘Is a four pound robin fat?’
Understatement: ‘You call an alligator a lizard?’ ‘You call King Kong a chimpanzee?’

More silliness:

That old man is tighter than a fat woman's sock.

Damn, that's louder than two skeletons fucking on a tin roof.

On that theme... You drive like old people fuck! Slow and sloppy!

It's hotter than two rats fucking in a wool sock.

I'm busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.

I'm busier than a one-armed grocery sacker. (Saw one once, he was in fact busy)
