Awesomely corny expressions

I love it when baseball announcers say "Can of corn" to accompany routine pop-ups to the outfield.

Too literal?

I've never heard that before.

How about

"All that and a bag of chips."

Also,

"Jeepers."

You're getting a little close to copyright infringement there.

Surely I'm not the only FOT for whom it's a constant exertion of willpower to avoid constantly aping Tom?

I've always been cranky as hell, and now I have a role model. It just gets harder and harder not to Scharplingize about everything.

I'm right there with you.  Luckily, not many other people I know listen to the show, but occasionally Christina The Yes Fan will publicly shame me by saying "You're NOT Tom Scharpling!" if I'm being particularly cranky in mixed company.  Then I just pout.

Yep. My wife chastens me this way too. No one likes to be called a copycat.

Especially if they are one.

My Grandfather used to call me a horse thief to describe my juvenile and unscrupulous behavior.

Grandma just swore in German, which we would unsuccessfully imitate.

[Joe Rogaine]

"By God"

"Rectum Hell"

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

My grandpa used to yell "rectum hell" at other drivers all the time.  I thought it was just him.

[dave from knoxville]

Rectum? I just about killed em!

One man's rectum hell is another man's rectum heaven.

[andrew in philadelphia]

rectum hell? i think we have a winner..

i'm going to start baiting other drivers into road rage type scenarios just so i have an excuse to use that one. it's glorious.

Home Slice.

As in, "looking good, home slice!"

[joanna]

mokin said something today that reminded me of something my dad used to say when someone made a smart quip. he'd reply: "you sure a fart smeller! i mean, smart feller!"

[iAmBaronVonTito]

Does your icon play into that phrase: "come on, dad..."
