Old Time Sayings

Another one from my mom:
If you're running around but getting nothing done, you're "like a fart in a thunderstorm".

The hurryer I go, the behinder I get.

Mom always said that laughter was the best medicine.

I guess thats why we were always sick.

My mom was fond of "Bless your pointy little head".

My mom was fond of "Bless your pointy little head".

What about 'Well bless (his/her/your) heart.'

When surprised my grandmother would say either "Jesus Priest" or "What in the name of Sam Hill."

If I was running around and wouldn't keep still, she'd say I had the "St. Vitus Dance," which I think is an actual old diagnosis for anxiousness or something.

And people with the DTs had "manoportia," another old slang medical term for people suffering from the DTs.
