I think this actually refers to Shakspeare's Hamlet. Ok, here it is:
"This phrase is taken from William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. The speaker is Marcellus, a guard, who talks to his philosophical comrade, Horatio, saying, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark …“ (Act-I, Scene-IV). The reason of saying this is just not that Denmark is facing dirt. It means that the situation of Denmark is similar to a fish that rots from head to tail, or in other words, it shows that everything is not good at top of political hierarchy."

This isn't a saying but I noticed you wrote "Being that..."
People still say things like "Being as you did so and so..."
Also Nothing to write home about.

Thanks Hillbilly very interesting

Polish sayings:

The violin doesn’t play for everybody.

What one thinks when sober, one says when drunk.

In wine there is truth.

As neccessary as a hole in the bridge (aka I need that like a hole in the head).

Those who argue, like each other.

Happiness is between the lips and the rim of the glass.

When the woman gets off of the wagon, the horses have an easier time.

Make love, not war.

No, I think you have that backwards.

Sex should always be treated like war, bust in hard and fast with no regard for anyone but your self, shoot everything you can and extract even faster.

That what you meant?

You have to be loud and rough about about, if everyone gets hurt then its a plus, if you pulled something in the process you did something right.

I love this thread because it makes me think about the people in my life that are long gone.

My Dad use to say this ALL THE TIME and I remember laughing after.

Children should be seen and not heard.

Madder than a hornet.

Careful, you’re gonna fall off your pedestal.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.

Forgive and forget.

I’m going to beat you like a step child. (So very wrong, but, alas, they did use to say it)

Till the cows come home.

Good night. Sleep tight. Don’t let the bedbugs bite. (As a kid I didn’t what a bedbug was. Now Ohio has one of the worst problems with them!)

He/she will give you cooties. ( I still don’t know what they are)

We still say, I HIT PAY-DIRT!!

We said that, and His ship came in. Although we were nowhere near a port.
Those old folks definitely believed children should be seen and not heard :D
I remember Set your britches on fire, or warm your britches. As in a spanking.
My brother would say Crime in Italy, whatever that meant.
My sis-in-law would say Take it and do, and Little or nothing.
I think I have heard almost everything in this thread. Forgot a lot of them.

well sh!t fire and save the matches!
Colder than a well diggers ass
Carry it in a poke.
It’ll cure what ails ya
Way up yonder
Like stink on poop
That ought to go over like a turd in a punch bowl
Slower than molasses in January
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer

Knocked the snot bubbles out of him
Deader than a door nail
Sweating like a whore in church
Older than Methuselah
Like white on rice
Don't corner something meaner than you.
Fatter than a tick on a coon hound
So tight he squeaks when he walks
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch
Breath like a buffalo fart
