"OLD SAYINGS " (and how we remember them still to this day!)

8 yrs ago

...Sandi suggested on the "Stick it in the Bin" Topic on 1/7/15 @ 10.37pm ...regarding comments and also perhaps old "sayings" we heard when growing up as kids from our parents etc. .... and 'sayings" that people still use today ................we should have a Topic on it!

Whether they are "silly" sayings - "old wives tales" (from many years ago) - or just total "rubbish" .....there are hundreds "floating" around that you have to ask yourself - why?

Does anyone remember the saying:

"That beats little green apples"

My grandmother used to say this a lot.

I checked with idioms, and the original was:

sure as God made little green apples *sure as God made little green apples and *sure as eggs is eggs;*sure as fate; *sure as I'm stand-ing here; *sure as you live Rur. absolutely certain. (*Also: as ~.) I'm as sure as God made little green apples that he's theone. I'm right, as sure as you live!
