Two different things! A tomato pie is a style of pizza, but not all pizza is a tomato pie.

I just shorten it to the PG rated, "and the horse you rode in on". Not everyone gets it.

At least someone is keeping the tradition alive. I think I'm going to begin saying that when I look old enough to get away with it.

She did say "F" thankfully, and not use the word. It doesn't seem to be a common expression. My mother is the only one I've ever heard say that.

These sayings are making me feel so old, since I am the one who is grandparent aged! An old one I liked is "young whippersnapper" for a cheeky kid. Cheeky is an English expression for Fresh (see earlier in the thread).
