"That won't cut it"
Because a flash of insight when I was grooming dogs. A tool wasnt sharp enough and I was struggling. I muttered the saying while putting it down to switch tools. Aha! That's exactly what it meant originally!

"You sweet ol thang you!"
we have hundreds of them, most related to shows Mom has watched way too often so we know exactly what we're referencing and can laugh about it.
two we've been using a lot lately are "Yo!" and "Welcome!" yo is our "God bless you!" when either of us sneeze. Welcome is a reference to a t.v. show where the dorky guy is being pushed forward to meet a new nice looking neighbor and he can't think of anything else to say other than that. it just fits too well most of the time with our own dorkynesses here and we say it with the whole expression and accent to make it fit even better.
from My Big Fat Greek Wedding (first spelled Weeding
) the lines in the beginning where her dad tells her she's looking too old and that she should get married... just cracks us up all the time. we're simple that ways.

I always reference a quote from the Movie "The Fifth Element"
"I'm too old, too tired and too damn hungry to chase after some hotrod."
The second part usually works if I have a coffee or drink in my hand.
"And I'm definitely too thirsty."

"There is many a slip, between the cup and the lip."
A variation of "don't count your chickens before they hatch"
From my Oma... and she was born in 1913.

Quicky Picky!
I'm pretty sure my mom made it up, but she would say it whenever we were crossing the street, or parking lot. It means "Get your ass moving!" but acceptable to say to a 5 year old
