Y'all have got me up in class HOLLERIN' ... (you know how people always wanna peep your screen to see what's so funny!)
Total Elegance: The version I've heard is that so-and-so is "crazy as a bedbug!"
A few of my mother/grandmother's:
1. So-and-so "can't see for lookin'!"
2. So-and-so "ain' got the sense God gave 'em!"
3. "If I'm lyin' I'm flyin'!"
4. "If life last and time pass ... " meaning something will come to be.
5. "Let the chips fall where they may."
6. "If I've said it once, I've said it many-a-time ... "
As in (my mother on the phone with her mother):
"Lawd, (if I've said it once, I've said it many a time), that boy (ain't got the sense God gave him)! I already told him that girl won' NO good, but he (can' see it for lookin')! (If life last and time pass), she'll have done cheated on him and got all his money! Momma (if I'm lyin' I'm flyin')! But you can' tell that boy nothin'! (Let the chips fall where they may), I'm not havin' nothin' to do wit it no mo!"
Lawd, I'm beginning to think it's rubbing off on me ...!
