Made-up Sayings

What a lot of annoying things parents said back then?
Things have changed, haven’t they, as we older ones answer children properly.
Apart from well known sayings, I don’t think my family has more than two (which would be too revealing to put on a public forum.)

if we asked what's for dinner mother would say 'bread an pullit', and other sayings!

Instead of saying 'go for a run and jump', my sister would say 'go for a run with your leg up'. It always made us laugh and naturally, our whole family adopted the saying.

My grandfather being a true cockney always went up the apples and out for a ball of chalk.
( Apples and pears - stairs , Ball of chalk - walk.) amongst many others.

Anyone who frets and flaps is ‘frapping’ in our family.
My dad loved malapropisms. Having been teasingly insulted, he would comment, ‘I resemble [resent] that remark’.
My mother, who was brought up in Cheshire, used an archaic verb ‘crewdle’. Apparently it referred to the way chickens squat.
