Loosely translated it meant "Holy Sheetmetal". No joke, a foreign exchange student told us this. I think that's awesome.
Sounds like something from the old Batman TV show.

A couple of my friends always say "cheese 'n rice" when they don't want to take the lords name in vain.
When talking about someone who is stupid I'll say they are "dumber than a bag of hammers". Don't know where I got it from and it's kinda stupid itself but I still do it.

Our neighbor uses the phrase "dumb as a stump" a lot.

I wonder who they are referring to when they say that.

I've never been able to figure that out. They're very cryptic people.

One of my college buddies used to say that all the time. It was twice as funny because he had a high pitched country accent. I'd never heard it before I met him. I'm guessing he inherited that one from his parents. And yes, I made fun of him for it.

We used that phrase so much on one guy that I work with, so that eventually his nickname became "stump". To this day, people call him "stump", and most people don't even know why.

But how often does George Pataki actually come up in your conversations??

Are you from Indiana? I had a college roommate who would constantly say cheese 'n' rice. Drove me nuts.

He was vile, believe me.
He had another nugget of wisdom: "Everybody needs a friend who's an *sshole, and I'm yours."
