If saying the word hey, they would say - hay is for horses! Beauty parlor instead of a salon. Tomato pie for of a pizza. Soda pop. You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

I've never heard that one, and my mother was born in England. Family tradition and all that. I did hear her say, "F you and the horse you rode in on" a few times. I guess they were from different areas.
I just shorten it to the PG rated, "and the horse you rode in on". Not everyone gets it.
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).
