I like this one!! Here are some regulars with my family:
*That person is hotter than "fish grease" or "cleaner than the Board of Health."
Translation: The person looks really nice.
*What's ailing you?
Translation: What's wrong with you?
*Make haste!
Translation: Hurry up!
*Do you want some tee?
Translation: Do you want something to EAT?
*I'm not going to use any more of your juice.
Translation: I am about to get off this
telephone.
Is it just me or does anyone else have that grandparent/great-grandparent who is looking right at you and calls you by every name BUT yours. Then they get mad when you don't answer.
