Those phrases are old, like very old. I wonder about the phrases that teenagers are now talking. Those dont make sense at all. nothing comes to mind right now.
Do you have any phrases that is so strange by the kids/teenagers now that got you so stumped?

I was watching the NFL show today on QVC and for some reason the host would not show all the team jackets front and back they would skip some teams dwell on the team they liked the most or just not show the jacket itself instead just show the host standing next to it talking to a caller. This is from a distance so the details of the jacket i.e. logos were not visible. I watched two presentation and niether host showed NY. So I couldn't see the details of the jacket and I have been looking for a jacket just like the one they were selling. Alas since I couldn't see it I didn't buy it and it was the days top value. I said a phrase I haven't heard in a while and had to chuckle.
This just burns my bottom! LOL

Shed crocadile tears
Turn on a dime
The worm head turns
An he comes out swinging
Rigamonroe
Do a round robin
Don't ge squirrly
Beg to differ
Cut and dry
The long and short of it
Cry me a river
Takes two to tango
In a nut shell
Turned out to be a big goose egg
He's about to rabbit
He's gonna pop!
Tongue and cheek
Loose as a goose
Purchased a sleeve of (xyz)
You cut me to the quick
Water under the bridge
Cat got your tongue
She ain't just whistling Dixie
Its not over till the fat lady sings
Tight wad
Johnny come lately
Push come to shove
Rat him out
Rats!
Stop monkeying around
Don't horse around
Stop the horseplay
In jam
Tough cookie
Lump on a log
Worse for wear
I wish I was a fly on the wall
Don't be a wall flower
Starving like Marvin
Face to face with starvation ( this one I remember from childhood, I was watching a cartoon and the character was hungry and they said he was face to face with starvation and then they showed him sitting at a table with a ghost like figure with the word starvation across his chest staring back at him. As a kid I thought that was hilarious!)

Flies can be on a wall and see and hear everything going on in that room and no one thinks anything of it. Therefore it would be nice to be a fly on a wall during an interesting conversation.

I think a lot of these saying are hard to understand because they've either gotten abbreviated or corrupted. I never understood why somebody was happy as a clam until I found out the whole saying was "happy as a clam at high tide."
One of my former pastors, who's from Indiana, says he's "as happy as a dead pig in the sunshine." Somebody want to explain that one to me?

I have lived in IN for most of the last 14.5 years and have never heard that.

I don't know if they are still saying this but at the end of a telephone conversatin they will say " one" I'm not sure why.
Also they call each other son. That is for girls and boys. In my day we still made the term gender specific.

Shed crocadile tears
It has been said that sometimes a crocadile will have tears, but he is not really crying at all.
quote:
Takes two to tango
You cannot tango dance alone, meaning it takes 2 people to be involved in something.
quote:
He's gonna pop!
I believe that this is referring to a bottle of soda when you shake it too much, it pops all over the place.
quote:
Water under the bridge
I guess that this one would refer to something that has been thrown into the water from a bridge, meaning there is nothing that can be done about it now, so the past is the past and moving on instead.
quote:
Its not over till the fat lady sings
I've heard in all opera's that the show is not over until the fat lady starts singing.

How about "Up your nose with a rubber hose?" (or "...yellow hose.")
