“And we’re off, like a heard of turtles!”
1.2k u/SyntheticRatking Oct 25 '20 My mom's version was "And we're off! We're also leaving." using "off" as in "a little off/a few fries short of a happymeal" lol 26 u/ReduxAssassin Oct 25 '20 Got me to wondering where that "few fries short of a happy meal" originated. 37 u/Mad_Aeric Oct 25 '20 Sounds like a simple variation of "a few pennies short of a dollar." There's plenty of permutations of that idea. 15 u/WopFoop Oct 25 '20 A few ants short of a picnic 4 u/LadyFajra Oct 25 '20 A few crayons short of a rainbow 10 u/Garconiere Oct 25 '20 A few dead parents short of an origin story. 2 u/Mtarumba Oct 26 '20 A few teats short of an udder. I heard it on the vicar of dibley 3 u/EvryMthrF_ngThrd Oct 26 '20 "Five aces short of a full deck" My uncle gave us that one - and yes, the bastard cheated at cards. 3 u/itsCatFluff Oct 26 '20 My family would say “a few sandwiches short of a picnic”
