re: Your dad's favorite catch phrases?

Is shaking his head and going to the garage to smoke a cigarette a catch phrase? More like a go to move.

That’s as close as he got to having one.

Whenever someone came to him with a semi-complex problem that he could not fix, he would tell them in his famous growl, "shite on you, and shite on all this."

Oh, another one of his favorites was, "frick with me and see."

"Don't do as I do...do as I say do"

“Blind sow found an acorn “

Comprende?

Oh Balls!

Dont remember any common catch phrases. Only remember shut the door, turn off the lights if you're not staying in that room.

Good deal, Lucille

My dad was and old school man who grew up in the log woods. He primarily spoke in riddles that I thought were nonsense until I got old enough to understand the genius and wisdom. My all time favorite, I was freshly married with my first born on the way. I told my dad that I was scared to death and didn’t know how I was gonna be able to take care of a child. Daddy said “God don’t send down a baby possum that he don’t send down a persimmon tree”. I miss him every damn day.
