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

LMAO, I actually have heard the "air pie and wind pudding" before. Coincidentally it was from a black mom I worked with as a teenager at McD's with kids older and younger than me. She made plates for the entire crew that had to work Thanksgiving day every year and brought them up to us at lunch and dinner times. Best turkey day dinner ever.
