The DU Lounge

was a fun and colorful character. Some of his sayings always made us giggle when we were kids even if we didn’t quite understand all of them at the time: Nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs; nervous as a whore in church; colder than a witch’s tit; slicker than snot on a doorknob. My mom’s expressions of surprise were “Sakes alive!” or “Lord a Mercy” or if mildly surprised it was “My, My, My”. Thank you for the idea of this post. Brought me back to lots of memories and fun to read all the responses. 😊
