I said today that it was "raining like the dickens"

what is the dickens?

what does it have to do with the rain?

why do we say this phrase to mean it is raining a lot?

I have no answers to the above.

What are some other odd sayings?

How about, "It hurt like a mad bastard!"

Sounds painful, but.........huh?

What's a mad bastard?

My grandmother had a saying, "The skin that goes 'round the devil's back is the same as under his stomach."

Apparently, it's supposed to be something similar to "What goes around, comes around."

But WTF?

If you ask where something is, and some one says, "If it was up your ass, you'd know!"

Now, this is likely true. But then...why would I be asking if that were the case?

I told my 14 yr. old granddaughter that she should "make hay while the sun shines"......
She "looked at me like I have 3 heads"

I've got to "get back to the drawing board"

Well, it's six on one hand, half a dozen on the other.

"It's hot as balls out"

I don't have balls, nor do I know what kind of balls i'm talking about when I use this phrase.

I've never understood the phrase "taking a shit"

you're really not taking a shit....you're leaving a shit
