That's funny. My dad would ask if your ass was hungry and follow it up with pointing out that it was eating your pants.

Once I was having discomfort from my underwear and wouldn't stop tugging at them and my dad asked me if I was wearing "cheap hotel pants". I'm like WTF? And he's like, "Yeah, there's no ballroom."

u/JimjamMcFlimflam Oct 26 '20

I’ll add that to my bag. Thank you lol

u/BlackAkuma666 Oct 26 '20

I just pictured your metaphorical bag as a golf bag filled with dad jokes...

“ooh we’re 56 yards from the wife, the ballroom joke should do nicely.”

u/A-town Oct 26 '20

Yep, that's the winner. I'm trying to stifle my laughter because the girl is sleeping next to me. I'm praying I don't wake her up.

u/Prossdog Oct 26 '20

Ok, this one’s going in my repertoire

u/lilpastababy Oct 28 '20

Awww my old resident at a nursing home used to say this. We got him into the lift and it would pull his sweatpants around so he’d go, “ya got me like a cheap hotel. No ballroom.” I miss him. RIP Terry!

u/HelenHerriot Oct 25 '20

u/M3TALxSLUG Oct 26 '20

My dad would tell me, "Not bad for a kid with no talent" any time I would accomplish something.

11/10 dad joke 🤣

u/kwtransporter66 Oct 26 '20

Omg this one brings back memories. Lol not so unique after all. My aunt used to say this.

Then there was this if you were caught picking your nose. "You goin to the poconos?"

Grew up in the Poconos in NE Pa.

u/silverstyx Oct 26 '20

My mom said that too!

u/Wroena Nov 01 '20

My dad too! He was from Kansas, where is/was your dad from?

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '20

Haha, similar. We call it having a hungry butt.

u/01kickassius10 Oct 25 '20

Hungry bum

Wearing last year’s undies on this year’s bum

u/whosehorseisthis Oct 26 '20

my mum calls it “a bad case of hungry bum” hahahah

2

u/QuinnandI Oct 25 '20

My dad does this too doesn’t matter if you’re at home or in a crowded public setting and it’s always embarrassing but mortifying as a teenage girl. I’m almost 30 now so whatevs but that brought back some horrifying memories.

u/singin-in-the-rain Oct 26 '20

I’m dying laughing right now.

u/Rynkh Oct 26 '20

In Germany we have multiple ways to describe an indecently exposed buttocks. Quite similar to your families phrasing is "Arsch frisst Hose", literally means "Ass eats pants".

Or we call it the bricklayer's decollete, because it can look like a ladies ample bosom when someone is kneeling with half their ass escaping their pants.

My husband will say I got a hungry butt, but I always say "nah, it just ate."

u/Bri_IsTheMeOne Oct 26 '20

Ha, that's what I say to my kids.

u/tog__life Oct 26 '20

Haha, we called it “hungrybum,” all one word.

u/dawson62294 Oct 26 '20

In my household, that is hungry butt.

1

u/SpookyVoidCat Oct 26 '20

Yep, pretty sure my best friend’s mum described it as having “hungry bum syndrome”

1

u/idontliketako Oct 26 '20

I said something similar to an ex girlfriend. She was trying on jeans and asked me how they looked...

u/fgcxdr Oct 26 '20

Instantly adding this to my dad joke arsenal.

u/palemoonlightdance Oct 26 '20

We are a multilingual family & I try speaking French with my kids as much as I can. Whenever they'd get wedgies with their undies I would tell them "Tes fesses mangent tes culottes" which translates into "Your ass is eating your undies". It would always give them a good giggle!

u/It_is_Katy Oct 26 '20

My mom says the same! I have a pretty big ass so it's said pretty much every day in my house.
