I had a former boss who was famous (or infamous) for his many sayings. We started keeping a list of them, and I turned it into a speech for his retirement party:
During Larry’s 34 Years At Lockheed , he became known for many things: his determination, vast technical knowledge, and bodacious collection of shoes.
But maybe most of all, from Marietta to the Skunkworks to WWVietnam, Larry became famous for his many sayings.
Whether Larry showed up in the morning Safety Wired To Pissed Off or waited around until it was Dangerously Close To Lunchtime, you always knew that we were one Chocolate Mess away from a serious game of Whack-A Mole.
Ain’t That Right, Chipper?
Whenever management would send down a Dumber Than Dirt email asking for 2 Men, 2 Shifts, 2 Weeks, you could count on learning how even though it was Near Criminal, The Beatings Would Continue
But Let’s Calibrate on this for a minute.
Even Our Avionics Friends would admit that when they turned in a P.O.S. product, Larry was right there with a Whiskey Tango Fox that was hard to disagree with.
After all, how many engineers do you know who could tell you about Preferred Stock while The Market Was Trashing Again and still manage to Throw Shit On The Wall And See What Sticks?
But even though This Ain’t The Company He Hired Into, Larry had the Affect—or Effect—of getting you to think about things in a different way.
I can say from personal experience that once you consider Taking A Flying F*** At A Rollin’ Donut, you will see the world with new eyes.
So in the future, whenever we may run into A Pig Lookin’ At A Wristwatch who doesn’t know The Square Root Of Shit about Compa-Ratios or Draconian Instatiations of Manamana, we will all know what to do.
Just F*** ‘Em In The Heart ‘til they Shit A Meat Axe.
And Don’t Forget To Close Out Your STARS!

"That boy found a bird's nest on the ground"

This is one my dad uses that I forgot yesterday. Another one that comes to mind is "deader than four hundred hells." No idea where that one came from.
One colloquialism that I use on the reg is "let the rough end drag." Surprisingly, this was not familiar to several of my coworkers. I thought every Southerner knew that one, but maybe not?
My dad uses "can't tell his ass from a hole in the ground" as a variation of this one. Reminds me of another from one of my military buddies. "He couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel."
