ha! spanky, i already say:  i scare the bejabbers outta people.

don't use the others yet.  as u know i love words, so my sister and i called people dry matches. meant nothing.  but it surely infuriated them to be called one.

i also use:  son of a monkey's breathe.  absolutely no meaning.  likewise with: I spit on u.  I would say that to the bad uns at ETs place.  He always asked me what it meant.  whatever one wants it to mean.

My father said gadzooks.  He was in the navy but never cursed like a sailor.  My mother however, from high society, taught me to curse like a sailor.

Mostly, I no longer do.  Mostly.  

Good thread spankster.  You sound better today, btw.

Edit: There is a chance i picked up "son of a monkey's breath" from actions of my father. To entertain ourselves at work, he would keep a picture of a chimpanzee in his wallet. Take it out and show people it was his new daughter. No one ever said, OMG that is a monkey.

And, we laughed and laughed. Cuz people don't say, man is that one ugly baby, mister.

I guess we gaelic are easily amused.
