Not good luck, good management. Luck is not a strategy.

Talking about making plans and thinking ahead.

sbv,

In like Flynn.

What does that even mean?

“In like Flynn” is a slang phrase meaning “having quickly or easily achieved a goal or gained access as desired.”

Not a catch phrase, but one day my grandfather showed up at the house unannounced asking me to bury his pet cat that had recently died in my back yard.

TheButtonJustSpins,

This took a turn.

My grandma, having to call for help but doesn’t know who of the many kids are around: hey, hey human who was named

Translation takes away from it.

My great-grandmother was a fan of “you know who you are, get over here”

“Things are the way they are.”

Seriously.

Take me out back and shoot me.

A whistling woman or a whistling hen, will drive the devil from his den.

velxundussa,

I was raised by my grandparents.

My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don’t think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

Everytime he’d taste something new, he’d enthusiastically comment “it’s different than usual!” (Rough translation from French “ça fait changment!”)

To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.

Melobol,

Those who run don’t see it, those who love don’t mind it.

“Aki szalad nem látja, aki szeret nem bánja.”

Basically strangers don’t matter, your flaws wouldn’t stick out to them. And your loved ones will accept you as you are.

Pulptastic,

Dumb mistakes are called boners and all the kids and grandkids snicker

My gram used to quote MAD Magazine and Cracked with me all the time so that was pretty amazing. <3

“An old Indian taught me that.”

“And we’re off like a turd-of-hurdles/smelly underwear.”

“Oh, I know it!” (I agree whole-heartedly)

“(That’s) big noise.” (Nonsense)

“Slicker than dog snot!” (The bee’s knees)

ihatemyusername,

Don’t pass up the opportunity to have sex or take a shit: you’ll always regret it.
