A few examples:
"I've got a sh*t-pot full of work to do."
"You're sh*tting me." (This one also falls in the category of an expression I don't understand.)
"All grown up and haired over."
I dislike overused catch phrases. My current pet peeve is:
"It is what it is." I always want to respond, "According to whom?"
I understand some phrases in context but I can't quite wrap my mind around them. For example:
"Love a duck."
"Puttin' on the dog."
"Painting the town."
The husband tells a story that occurred during his service in Vietnam. I'll botch it but here's the gist of it. A serviceman was determined to need a mental evaluation. Lots of weird behavior. The base psychiatrist or psychologist was a little harsh with the husband because he had mentally checked off "crazy" in his mind. Turns out, they agreed the guy was nutso. I don't remember all of his quirks but the one that sticks in my mind is that he loved to read the dictionary. I think he had read it three or four times.
God is funny. The husband also thinks I'm nutso. Plus, I am rarely without a dictionary within reach.

We have had some fun with alot of goofy stupid phrases.
You know another of my favs is: What the f*ck?" & "Get the f*ck out of my way!".
I love you "queerbait".
(ps.. my intention is not to be offensive, so, I apologize now to anyone that I do)
I can't get past the fact that Dan was in Viet Nam. He looks to young to have been there. (No, I'm not sucking up, he really looks that young. Besides, look at your dad, he doesn't look anywhere near his age, your mother too for that matter). Anyway, I agree with the "the it what it is" phrase. Come on what the hell is that anyway? Someone who doesn't have a whitty response? Kim
