Forgot some of those and some I hadn't heard.

I was going to say on your post 'Crime In Italy or 'Itly' for some.

It's actually a word: Crimanently/Crimemently...Sometimes 'Criminy' is taken as 'crimeinitly'. My elder gGrandparents, aunts/uncles etc as well as Grandparents would talk about hearing someone say that and couldn't understand how that happened! They thought it was intentional and a racial attack or slur. lol!

Anyway..

This thread brings back so many memories of the people who said these things! Thanks for starting it HBP!

I laughed out loud on the 'tick on a catfish'. I hadn't heard that in so many years!

I heard this from my grandpa from New Orleans when I was young

Me- “Look at all the tourists!!”

Grandpa- “Son Yankees are like hemorrhoids, if they come down and go back up there OK, if they come down and hang around their pain in the ass”

My brother must have heard it as crime in italy, going by his pronunciation.
"Crimently: Probably formed by infixation of nonsense syllables into criminy."
Just remembered how my dad and others used to say a peck of tomatos.
Every once in awhile somebody would mention they were moving. My dad would say, You know what they say. Three moves are equal to a burn-out(house fire).
