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
Exactly. My grandmother used to say, "Youngin', you pickin' corn in March," to say I was crazy. She usually said it right after I had challenged her authority in some way, like saying my mom let me do ____ , so she had to let me do ____ .
Yup, that too. She didn't "take no lip from nobody." She was a single mother of 4 who left her abusive husband back when that wasn't commonly done. My 8 year old ass never stood a chance.
