Recently, I noticed my mother using a phrase that I remember my Grandmother using when I was a kid. " He's got more _ than Carter's got pills."
apparently a reference to an old, now defunct medicine company.
My Grandfather, a retired Navy man, constantly refered to any candy or goodies as either " Gedunk" or " Pogey bait "
I lived in Oklahoma for a time, and my work buddies had an expression that they used to show incredulity..." What in the Sam Hill !" I guess it was a variation of " What in the Sam Houston ?" but not sure.
Anyway, always thought these types of things were interesting. I'll bet we can get some good ones considering the diversity, and age range of B&B.
So post what you have heard, in your neck of the woods. Thanks.
