Is there any old axioms, sayings, phrases, terms or whatever you remember from childhood or that your parents used that you don't hear anymore?
My dad had a couple that I still use on occaision:
"About as useful as tits on a boar"
Describing something totally useless
and
"Dragging hind titty"
Describing someone coming in last place
Yeah, my old man was a farmer.
