Introduction

these are little saying i enjoy when they come out of somebody's mouth. an evolving list as i hear 'em.

 
 

well, i'll be

 
there's an intonation associated with this, and it's usually coming from a southern woman. means they're shocked.
 
 

you're the cat's meow

 
i don't like cats much, but i like being the meow.
 
 

the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

 
true.
 
 

don't be a pill

 
i like the idea of being a "pill". keeps people on their toes.
 
 

whatever floats your boat

 
everyone want their boat to float.
 
 

that's how i roll

 
when i ask noah any question relating to his behavior, this is how he answers. it's usually enough for me.
 
 

sounds chemical

 
my grandad richardson gets credit for this. any time you talk about anything he doesn't understand it "sounds chemical". this usually relates to travel, technology or anything he just wants to stop talking about.
 
 

good

 
another grandad richardson saying. said with a lot of conviction. "GOOD". again, usually a response when he wants the conversation to move on already!
 
 

to cause a fruit basket upset

 
i've used this a few time in san fran, and no one seems to know what i'm talking about. it's the perfect description when a group of people are upset or feathers are ruffled.
 
 

in the thick of things

 
an interesting place to be.
 
 

come to jesus

 
a "come to jesus talk" or "come to jesus moment" means a profound realization. packs a punch.
 
 

aw, snap!

 
i love this! can't really explain why. i just do. especially when dylan whitaker says it.
 
 

that's bananas

 
so ridiculous, i love it.
 
 

hella

 
i like "hella" when said by skater or surfer kids.
 
 

tickled pink

 
i HATE being tickled. i love being tickled pink.

Figuratively, what's the difference between "the cat's meow" and the "cat's pajamas"?

Hubband always says, "mind your own monkey". I really like that one.

A girl at work the other day said, "you don't borrow trouble", meaning, "it's your own damn fault". Nicely put, I thought.
