I love the old colloquial sayings that seem to be disappearing these days.
My grandmother, when she couldn't find something, would say "What went with it"
It seems the South (USA) is particularly well known for these great old sayings.
"I am gonna beat you like a red-headed step-child"
"I will snatch you bald-headed"
After talking to your mother, someone will ask you "What'd your Momma 'low?"
Can you think of any others (from anywhere?)
Originally posted by Cheshire CatI think saying *Everything!!* would be appropriate there 😉. You have to say it enthusiastically though 🙂. Maybe your mom would've been searching for a response then 😉.
My Mom always used to say, "What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?" I could never figure out an appropriate response. 🙁

There are about a million of these, but that's all my mind can conjur up at the moment. There are some others that are really funny. If I come up with anymore I'll post'em.
