My mom will always opine that the sex scene in a movie was "unnecessary".
― MrDasher, Friday, 2 March 2012 18:29 (1 year ago) Permalink
haha my mom does the same thing -- "it's not that I have a problem with nudity in movies, I just thought it was gratuitous in that case." This is in every case.

When instead of 'you two' or 'you all' etc my brother and I would say 'youse' my mother would replay 'Ewes are the sheep in the street baa baa'

Also calling a woman 'she' rather than by her name my mother would say 'She is the cats mother'
I still have no clue what this means

To me in particular "My our cat has a long tail"
As a teen I collected every issue of every fashion and music magazine that came out. I would pile these on bookshelves, under my bed, stacked around the room. My mother would say 'I've told you paper attracts rats. THIS ROOM IS A RATS NEST! MY DAUGHTER LIVES IN A RATS NEST!! ARE YOU PROUD OF YOURSELF??? A RAT'S NEST!!!!!'

i went to stay with a good friend of mine at his parents house in Byron Bay (east coast hippie bullshit town in australia). We were watching some romantic comedy type thing one night. When the actors finally started kissing my friend's father leapt out of his chair, turned to us, and asked in a very loud voice 'Coffee? Tea? Bonox? Anyone?' and then scurried off to the kitchen for the next 20 minutes. I came to realize that any movie we watched where there was anything from kissing to nude scenes to sex he would always do this. "Coffee? Tea? Bonox??". Def the best part of every movie I watched on the vacation.

"Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace."
"You can't go out dressed like that!"
and when she's upset, she just says, "Daaaaaammmmmmnnn". Like really drawn out, which is weird, because she grew up in a Polish section of Philadelphia in the 50s and 60s.

Bonox is... beef extract that you drink? Do people often request a Bonox beef drink over coffee or tea?

Australia has an "east coast"? I thought that when you were that antipodal everything just converges into some mobius strip situation. If anything is a direction it would be north. Fucking magnets

Whenever anything sexual occurs on TV: "Sex rears its ugly head." It's a real expression from the 1930s.
"Insurance pee": precautionary urination before a car ride. Origins unknown.

The only way I can understand this is as an implication that you ate pussy for breakfast? Which is the kind of crass joke my dad would crack, but never my mom!

at least once a day my mother eats a 'little bowl of nice greens' which is what she calls her spring mix salads. this isn't noteable in itself, except she always announces that's she's eating her 'little bowl of nice greens' to which my father always replies 'at least they're not rude greens, or horrid greens - no, you wouldn't want that.' it is their routine, but they never seem to enjoy it: my father is annoyed that my mother introduced her salad, and my mother feels mocked. but, like clockwork...
