1. When I was in Food/bev

I would tell newby servers the hurrier I go one when they were in the weeds.
I have no idea where I heard it.

2. Pennsylvania Dutch here... we all talked backwards sometimes.

Throw the cow over the fence some hay.

We would REDD up our rooms and that did not involve red crayons.

The yolk of an egg was "The Dippy."

A rubber band is a gumband.

I'm sure there are loads more, but I moved away from there thirty-three years ago and I've lost a lot of the dialect.

3. "hope the wind doesn't change"

if we were making a face my grandmother would say.

Don't laugh at my childhood pain. It's not so much the visual flashback's of Uncle Hector's bathroom that haunt me, it's the Smells....think of rotting cabbage and peanut butter.

15. Do what I do...

just rib a little cologne on your upper lip and you won't smell it.

Use the good stuff.

I recommend "Aqua Velva Essence of Trout".

A full TWO gallons for a dollar at the dollar store.

5. My Grandmother had that saying framed in her kitchen

The hurrier I get one.

My Mother said this saying --
"You to your fancy,
and I to my Nancy
That's what the man said
when he kissed the cow"
She always used this saying to teach us not to judge others -- I like that.

My father said this one --
"It's nice to be important,
but it's more important to be nice"

12. Don't understand the one from Mom

but the one from Dad should be ingrained
in evryone from birth.....
THANKS!!!!

16. Basically, it was

a derogatory term about Naples. It literally means, "Ah, go to Naples!" or figuratively, "Go to hell!" LOL

14. "Keep out from underfoot" was about the nicest we heard from them. Back then (the 1950s

and 1960s), the childrens' duty was solely to avoid interrupting or otherwise annoying the adults.

Anything less than a compound fracture was non-reportable.
