"Here is your hat. What's your hurry?" = it is time for you to leave

"Go chase a rabbit" and "go play in the street" = the grandkids are annoying and need to leave the adults alone

When asked how he was doing?
"Hanging in there like a hair in a biscuit" or "6 feet up is better than 6 feet under".

Most of the others arent appropriate for the 21st century and result in calling someone a baby.

It’s not really a saying but when I was really young my great grandfather used to tell me to go find a snow snake, this was in west Texas. Years later I realize it was just to get me out of his hair. I spent countless hours looking for said snow snakes

My Grandfather compiled a list of old country sayings. I think he got close to 200. If I have time I’ll pull it out and post them.

If a frog had wings, he won't bump his arse every time he jumped.

Opinion are like backsides: everybody's got one; some use theirs more than others; but all of them stink.
