Sayings from the Old Country

These are some of the manners epithets I heard time and time again as a child in England. I seriously suspect they did not travel well:

Want will be your master -when a kids says "I want...."

She's the cat's mother (rude to refer to a female person as "she", should use her name, but "he" is ok)


feel free to add peculiar sayings you learned in your childhood that really don't work/make sense in your current life.....
