5. My mom's toughest swearing...
Hell's Bells!

It used to make me laugh, but when she said that, it was clear she was very frustrated.

12. My Sicilian Granma had a mouth like a longshoreman.
She mastered the art of cussing in TWO languages! All 4' 11", 90 lbs of her!
But she could COOK!
I miss that Lady!

13. "Oh, Mercy!"
If she were really mad she'd say: "Oh, Mercy, Percy!"

Then there's "H-E-double toothpicks!" ... Actually, my Grandma didn't say that, but I always thought that was the perfect Grandma expression -- someone who couldn't bring themselves to yell the shocking word "HELL!"

31. At my Grandma funeral a few weeks ago my second-cousin made a short
speech about my grandma's life. She brought up that fact that my grandma was the one who taught her brother's how to swear when they were little. It lightened up the mood, and I thought it was kind of funny.

35. My grandma had a mouth on her....
I had a teacher who called us twits.

My grandma said "Next time she calls you a twit call her a twat"

I did, it worked, I'm still embarrassed.


Khash.

41. Oh my stars and garters!!!
My grandma spoke only spanish, but my cousin taught her how to say fuck. One day the mailman was putting the mail in the box and he happened to ask my cousin if his granny spoke any english, cousin Ray said only one word, he asked her to repeat the word, the mailman almost fell on the floor laughing. She never knew what she was saying.

45. you shit-ass little bitch!
She was the sweetest white haired little old lady, but she hated when the cats used to sneak into the house. Nothing like introducing LynzM to the family like hearing her shout this at the cats while chasing them out!
