What are sayings you grew up hearing only to find out they were unique to your family?

When pulling out of the driveway for a trip:

“And we’re off, like a heard of turtles!”

My kids would say, “HAVE WE ALL LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON??”

I used to say that all the time when they were growing up (I still do.) A good way to acknowledge that something went wrong without people getting all,tense about it.

The term ‘to disconcur’ meaning to disagree. Tried using it once in a class and got some serious sideways looks. Teacher had to break it to me that it is not a valid word.

Probably not unique, but I always remember when someone would fail at at anything ‘graceful’ just say “smooth move, ex-lax”

Others may say these, but I’ve only heard my parents say them:

“Put a glass-eye in a duck’s ass and you could see that” = you’re blind as a bat or stupid

“We gotta douche this place” = thoroughly clean
