Some of the first ones to come to mind are:
"That guy is nuttier than a fruitcake"- still always says this
"If god wanted you to have a tattoo, he would've put it on you himself." - Everytime I thought about getting a tattoo I would hear my Dad's voice saying this and it would ruin the mood.
My step dad used to tell us he was going to send us to bed without our shoes on. It was supposed to be a threat but I laughed. He got this from his dad and apparently its a lot scarier when said in Italian.
My dad is just a bit of a hippie. No isms really stick out but is stories always start with "you know, when I was...." Oh and he wears sandals year round and gold barefooted and he actually does better barefooted than with shoes on.
My Happy House
No one wants to date a virgin but everyone wants to marry one.
Thanks, Dad... keeping it Klassy.
"When in doubt, throw it out"
"It's all fun and games until someone losses an eye"
Oh, and he also claims that he made up the saying "It's the bomb." My mom also agrees that he did, claiming they had never heard anyone say it, before he did. lol
my dad used to say this one too.
A few other famous lines in our family:
"just tell them who you are" -whenver we are trying to do or get something... no we are not famous or anything, he just liked saying that
"ohhh it's just going to blow over" -whever we would comment on the weather & how some nasty clouds are coming.
After DH & I got married he told DH that if we got divorced w/in 5 years that he'd have to pay him back the $$ he gave us for the wedding. He did this with my BIL as well but his was only a 3yr deal... we used to always joke about that.

Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
Love this post....
My dad: When he burped out loud he would ask "Did I get any on ya?" When I burped out loud, he would say "Good one." lol. Clearly my dad was not the one that imparted manners....or rather, maybe he did, as I still burp out loud at home sometimes (ok, maybe frequently).
My step-dad had a lot of 'isms: "I'll beat you like a read headed step child." "Move your feet lose your seat." "You make a better door than a window." "I'm sweating like a whore in church." "We're off like a prom dress."
Mise en place - he's a chef and he always was saying that to us. haha. To this day I still read through a recipe, do all my prep work - have all my ingredients ready to go before I even start on the recipe.
If it's too good to be true - it usually is
You make a better door than a window
If we woke him up from a nap or sleeping he'd say "Who's sick?!" haha - it was a running joke.
When he was teaching me how to drive he would always tell me to "drive like everyone else on the road is an idiot". Meaning - just because you know what you're doing - doesn't mean they do.
When he leaves me a voice mail he almost always starts with "Luke - this is your Father". He's a dork but I adore him.
first, my dad NEVER says any names right with regards to sports players. It's hilarious.
His main saying is: "we all have choices in life"
he also really likes the movie "Hardball" with Keanu Reeves and always sings "I love it when you call me big Pop-pa." <------hilarity.
My dad was never allowed to play the Name Game. You know...
Katie, Katie, bo-batie,
Banana-fana fo-fatie
Fee-fi-mo-matie
Katie!
He would undoubtedly get in trouble with that one every time!
