Funny/odd/interesting sayings

[Missdirected]

The other day something came out of my mouth. Something I hadn't heard in years. When I did hear it it was usually coming from my grandmother. Being from Kintuckeeeee, she had loads of sayings. Never thought twice about many of them, until I was older. Now I wonder what the heck some of them mean. A couple of us were swapping sayings the other day. I thought it might be fun to post some of those saying's here.
