In an earlier post, I mentioned something my dad used to say when he forgot something. It was, "I clear-light forgot it." I don't know for sure that anyone else from any other family said that, but everyone understood what it meant. Anyone else ever hear that expression?
Then, there was my mom who, when she wanted something clarified, said, "You'll have to be more pacific." I don't know it that was a southern thing or not, but I've heard lots of people say "pacific" instead of "specific."

I heard 'snatch you bald headed' a few times in my younger days.

My mother was a Floridian. She would threaten to "tan our behinds" though we never actually figured out what that was.

I have heard "dad-gumit" and "gol-durned" many times. Has the term for a suitcase been mentioned: "grip"?

My Dad would say: "I'll knock a fart out of you that will whistle like a freight train!".
