What funny colloquialisms or sayings have you heard?

"if you are soo schmart, vhi aren't you rich ?" - i believe this comes from the penn-dutch. hbg

It sticks like **** to a blanket.

Anbother PaDutch saying, Hamburger: "You get too soon old und too late schmahrt."

In Dave Barry's column today:

"You don't light a match till you know which end of the dog is barking."

Beats the hell out of me what it means.

:wink:

Joe Nation
Joe Nation, could Barry be referring to dog farts and lighting a match to disguise the stink?

I don't know, I, unlike you, are not an expert on dogfartism. I am a cat person. How I got to be a cat person I do not know. At one time in my life I raised boxers and had a Doberman, but now I have a cat named Ruby who doesn't fart as much as me. I'm sure Dave was referring to the barking of the fart but I was laughing too much to tell.
