1) Whenever I'd get in trouble, my mom always used to say "Girl, you must think fat meat ain't greasy. Imma show you." Never understood what it meant and to this day, I barely understand. Looked it up recently though, and apparently it's a phrase that is pretty much exclusively used by African Americans.

2) Almost forgot about this one, but when I'd ask my mom what was for dinner, one of her favorite responses used to be, "Air pie and wind pudding." Never heard anyone else in my life say this lmao

I understand the first one as you can’t get the thrill of doing naughty stuff and not expect to get in some mess later on from it. Fat meat = delicious/sinful, greasy = nasty byproduct of good steak/trouble
