My grandmother hated losing at cards, canasta, bridge, spades...anything. Besides trying to cheat her favorite saying was "Well, looks like I'm sucking hind tit!" [Reply]

He would grumble most of it. Reminds me of "The Christmas Story Dad"
He had another one that I don't quite remember, something like "sufferin' cats", said when you would normally say "Dammit" ("Sufferin' cats, Carl :-)). I do remember it always made me think of Looney Toons' "Sufferin' Succotash". [Reply]

I used to hear one of my aunts and other parents use that one on her kids.

Oh yeah, I got a version of this one too.

Heard other parents say this. Very common one.

Once again, an aunt, the same one used this a lot. When their father got home, he'd take a kid into a room and hit the back of a chair with his belt. Then he let them out. He'd never touch them. I only found this out recently from one of my cousins.
She also used to say, "I'll beat you black and blue, until blood draws."
She had eight of them and they drove her nuts, but they love her to death even to today. [Reply]
