Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Old sayings, the kids do not have a clue about

Just as shore as [bleep] on yer shirt tail, bub...

The two girls took their test in an '84 Jetta, and the boy in the '86 Mazda B2000, both with 5-speed sticks. They also drove the '97 Max. Both girls have automatics now, but can still use the Frontier 5-speed. Seth bought his 2010 Xterra with the 6-speed stick.

Not sure they don't know as recently saw a sign in Gettysburg or maybe Littlestown, shop called All Gussied Up, and asked the 20 year old if she knew what it meant, and she did. Not sure though, they'd know how to "dial" a phone, and think they mostly think you're lieing when you say, we got a phone call about once a month when I was a kid (and that might have been a busy month). Dad used to say some of the Blue Grass folks sounded like a cat with it's tail caught in a wringer.

I was having a heated discussion with my youngest and told him he sounded "like a broken record". Discussion ended right there while he went to google it.

What tach?

Shift without grinding the gears, because they weren't synchonized.

Remember, throwing it in neutral, killing the switch, and coasting down all the hills! Saving gas!

That dog ain't gonna hunt..

You're like spit on a griddle...

It won't amount to a hill of beans.

I'll tell you where the bear [bleep] in the buckwheat.

"Best thing since sliced bread"

I made the above statement awhile back and one of the classmates of my 7th grade son asked, "What does that mean, I hear my parents say it sometimes."

Flash in the pan.

Razor strop. (They were used on razors AND kids when I was growing up.)

He went to the well once too often. (A quarterback tried a previously successful play too many times and got picked off.)

Home-made soap. (My grandmother used Banner Lye in her soap. It took a layer of hide off of you, and you came out of the bathtub pink. I guess that would be child abuse these days.)

"Hung out to dry" I almost forgot what it was like till Katrina hit. Got a 2 week refresher course.

Why use a clutch except for starting and stopping. I would go up and down 13 speeds and shift five hundred times in a day and use the clutch eight of ten times.

Derogatory comments referencing "Liberace" are lost on the younger folks.

as my dad would say " you cut a fat hog in the azz "

Lake pipes

Flat head mill

Dual quad carburetors

Timing light

Distributor points, dwell time

uncorked

bite the bullet.......
buffalo hunters caried poision in an empty shell with a bullet for a lid just incase they were captured by indians.
"from Billy Dixons book"

That was another kick in the ass, ya see, there were no hills where I came from... but gas was .18 cents a gallon Also another reason for no 1000 yard long range enjoyment ;(

Seafire Jr can drive a manual... taught him on the 88 4 Runner...

Anyone remember the spark advance, manual spark advance lever on the left side of the steering wheel?
