When my father crossed the North Atlantic in World War II on convoy duty he met a Brit who told another Brit who was having trouble to "Buck up, Mary". My dad didn't know what it meant at the time. He later found out and told me. I smile and use it often.

I have five siblings. Growing up something always seemed to get broken. My mom would say, that's ok things can be replaced, you can't. (of course that was after yelling at us). To this day when something gets broken I hear that message (after I stop yelling).

metalwing...I'll ask..what does it mean?.... It means "suck it up, buttercup!" From a male perspective, of course.

My dad used to call me "honyock"
Any time I broke something I would tell my mom that a little red headed mouse did it. |

"I brought you into this world and I can take ya out".
Mine never said that, but I think it's funny.

I was always the one in the family asking "Where are we going?" OR "Where are you going?"
My dad would always reply...."Crazy" I would always ask....."Can I go Crazy too???"

My dad would say "listen my children and you shall hear" how we're going to rake up the cherry pits, mow, clean gutters, what ever the chore of the day was. I memorized the poem (once I discovered it) waited...and finally the day came when I interrupted him, recited the whole thing and was excused from work that day.
Also heard ones mentioned already, you could be done by now. I'll give you something to cry about... |

And then there is my modern favorite.
"Do you want some cheese with that whine?" |
