Why, yes, I have been saving these up...
"He's just whistling Dixie" --- catchy tune, I'll add
"Faster than two shakes of a lamb's tail"
"Can't carry a tune in a basket"
"I'll have my people call your people" and "we'll do lunch" ----hated that in the '80's and still do...but was common lingo in biz...
"Pedal to the metal" ---- ahh, the image of my youth...
"It's chump change" ----again, 1980's but I'll wish they had those $$ today...
"Eyes are bigger than his stomach" -----Was the reverse for me and I'm still hungry...
"Bit off more than he could chew" ---- nope...
"The check's in the mail" ---- see "I'll still love you in the morning" for explanation...
"Penny for your thoughts" ----No, maam, not a good idea...
"Miss me yet?" ---- as a matter of fact, we do...
"How can we miss you if you won't leave?"
"They're kissin' cousins" --- I recall a lot of bad jokes on that one.
"He's clueless"
"Stop pushin' my buttons"
"Pick a card, any card"
"Runnin' on empty' --- pushing that 1958 Ford at 2 AM was no fun....
"All thumbs"
and finally,
"I spent my money on wine, women and song. The rest I just wasted"
