Old sayings your parents/grandparents used to use

Got chatting with some friends and used the phrase "As slow as Christmas", a saying I've heard my whole life from my grandparents. Every one of them looked at me like I was crazy and claimed that I made up that saying.
Have any of you ever heard someone use "As slow as Christmas"?
Maybe it is just something made up by my hillbilly family.
Does anyone have any other good sayings that your picked up from your parents or grandparents?

If it flies, floats or fricks, you’re better off renting. An uncle
Tough titty said the kitty but the milk’s still good
Never pass up a bathroom or waste a hardon
(Talking about someone who constantly screws up)
That boy could fall face first into a barrel of titties and come up with a dick in his mouth

"As the crow flies" - haven't heard that in a long time
"don't count your chickens before they hatch" - I think my grandmother was the last person I heard say that one and that was prob 30 years ago

I've heard slow as Christmas a good bit. I think it's common, or was.

If someone offers you a mint, take it.
I’ve heard slow as Christmas before.

My Dad says that a girl is fine as frog hair when a good looking girl walks by.
But no, slow as christmas is not something I have heard. Idk how that even makes sense. It makes you sound like you fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.

- That boy is lost as a nanny in high weeds!
- It's hotter than a three-peckered billy-goat in a pea patch!
- If'n you don't straighten up, I'm gonna split your sack and run your leg through it!
I've definitely heard "Slow as Christmas" frequently, but then again, I was raised in eastern Kentucky amongst a whole lot of hillbillies.

I thought it was pretty common too until a group of my buddies tried convincing me into thinking I made up the saying. I have heard other people say it outside of my grandmother but as of late, I'd say I've said it more than I've heard it.

"That's weaker than puppy piss."- old school football coach in Jr high.
"Oh flittersticks"- My Nana when she would get frustrated.
ETA- You got some weird friends if they think you made up "Slow as Christmas".

Slow as Christmas is definitely a common saying. Grew up in Texas and Oklahoma.

We used “slow as Christmas” and “slow as pond water” interchangeably.
Favorite is “sweatin’ like a 2 dollar whore on nickel night!”
