My dad always used to say when he saw a ginger:
"red on the head like the d*ck on a dog" Now there's a memory for you......

My mother's dad was a man that just never cussed. His strongest expression was "dingbust" and that was for when he smashed his thumb with a hammer.
One phrase we use for the occasional real estate speculator that comes in our office is "big hat no cattle" to describe the guy that is showing us plans on how he is going to develop a square mile of land and have fantastic plans. Then he want us to discount a $1,000 job so he can get started. We are always amazed he plans to spend millions of other people's money but he can't come up with a grand to get the process started. Our favorite of all time was a guy that actually said he was going to build a ski resort in the Arbuckle mountains in southern Oklahoma. We had to try real hard to keep from laughing in his face.

When it's raining and the sun is out, my mother would say. "The devil is beating his wife"
I still say it to this day. I think it's a local New Orleans saying. |

You don't know your ass from a gin whistle. A lot of cotton farmers around here.

I usually say "Holy moley!" or cursing "fck me runnin'". I have been thinking of reintroducing "jumpin' jeehosiphats" for old times sake.

My Gran used to say "Well dip me in honey!". Her side of my Mom's family were Swede descendent farmers. Don't know if that's where it came from or if it had some hidden reference to my Grandpa
 . Don't want to think to hard about that.... She also used "Well I'll be!". Figure that one out...My Grandad on my Dad's side used to make up words but, a couple of his favorite expressions like that was "Bingo!" and "Sassafrass!". Growing up in Ill. I used to use "Fuch me runnin!" a lot and "Holy Sheep Shyte!". "Jumpin Jehosaphat!" I heard a lot too. Don't know if I spelled it correctly. Like it matters..  Nowadays it's primarily "WTF!" with an occassional "Hot Damn!" thrown in.
