My great grandma would say: “There’s nothing bad which would not result in something good.”
From my grandmother: “Essen! Essen!” (Eat! Eat!) Followed quickly by “You need to lose weight! You’re getting fat!”
“Who just shit my pants?”
I don’t know about ‘iconic’ but I once heard my grandpa say “I’d eat 5 feet of her shit just to see where it came from.” and that mental scar will probably stay with me the rest of my life.
Is this a military thing? One of the characters in Generation Kill says this in the first episode.
Two that I often quote:
Into each life, a little rain must fall. (almost always delivered sarcastically)
And:
Well, people in hell want ice water.
I loved that woman. Wish I would have known her better.
Into each life, a little rain must fall.
I think this is a phrase in a song from The Ink Spots.
