Stupid expressions!
What's the funniest/dumbest expression you've ever heard?
I'd have to go with "You're a moron wrapped in an idiot" I heard that on TV tonight and I lost it ![](http://burns.thefinaldimension.org/contrib/blackeye/lol.gif) I must be really tired!

Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your crotch unprotected.

One time, my mom was walkin to the washer and dryer, and I guess she forgot something or was thinking of something else and then says to herself out loud "Well, that's a fine kettle of fish!" and then burst out laughing because she has no idea what that means, where she had heard it before or why she said it.
For the next 30 mins or so, we were all laughing and trying to figure out what the in the world it means.
The funny part is... what she doesn't know is that here in Vancouver, there's a restaurant called A Kettle of Fish. So of course, I will get here out here one day and take her there ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

In french, we have the expression that rhymes: mieux vaut prévenir que guérir" which means "(it is) better (to) prevent than (to) heal".
One day, my mother said "mieux vaut mourir que périr" which rhymes similarly. It means "(it is) better (to) die than (to) perish".
Everybody had heard it very clearly.
The whole family, except for my mother, laughed uncontrollably for ten minutes solid. She was *really* pissed off and never truly believed us that she said that.

I use the expression "that's a fine kettle of fish" from time to time. I also use the saying "I've got other fish to fry", meaning I've got other things to do.

Sounds like a similar expression: "better to be safe than sorry"

Here are some PA Dutch expressions ...
"Quit yer brutzin " - Stop crying, fussing
"Sit still and stop rutchin' around!" rutch - to wiggle or fidget Sometimes, you hear "ritch" instead of "rutch".
"It makes no never mind." Simply means that it does not matter
"Goin' down to the crik" crik = creek , small stream
"You better redd up that room!" Not necessarily clean a room, just tidy it up.
"He's so ferdutzed or He's so befuddled" ferdutzed and befuddled means confused / mixed up
"C'mere wunst!" Come over here. wunst = once... Depending on the tone, you know as a kid you should hurry up and get over there.
"Don't put your shoes on the davenport." davenport is a word for couch
"Would you like some dippy eggs?" eggs over easy sunny side up
"You daresn't go out " daresn't = dare not , not allowed
"C'mere wunst. Have a sitz." Come here and sit down
"Don't get lippy to me!" Don't talk back
"It's all buggered up" Can't be fixed. Damaged

Never judge someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes...
(that way, when you judge them.. you are a mile away, and you have their shoes)

And then I laughed...

Actually, I always say "Up shit crick without a paddle". The funny thing is that I always pronounce the word as 'creek', except for when I say that expression because that is the way I heard it growing up. LOL!
I also say that I'm gonna 'red up' the room, which means to tidy up or do some light cleaning. Heh heh, you can take the boy out of Pittsburgh but you can't take Pittsburgh out of the boy. LOL!!!
