Old sayings

[Kace]

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).

I don't think it's just your brother...I've heard a lot of people say 'Well Crimeinitly or Crimeinitaly'.

Idle hands are the devil's workshop in my neck of the woods.
When I was little I was told nuns would grab me and hide me under their long skirt to be taken away. I was scared of them.
