One of my concession kids asked me not to "harsh his mellow." I told him he'd be mellowing on the sidewalk if he didn't smarten up.

vis a vis "smarten up", I was warned by my dad to "straighten up and fly right," directed to me only at times when my behavior warranted banishment to treeless, waterless islands in the Aegean.

This one's probably already been covered but it bothers the tar outta' me when someone strolls up and asks the question, "Can I ask you a question?" I usually return with, "It's obvious that you can."

My dad always uses this one too, or "get on the stick".

"I have a right to my opinion"

oh yea that may well be, but you don't "have the right" for no one else to state what they think is wrong with it! ;) Don't dish it if you can't take it!

Did you tell him the 70s called and wanted their weird drug reference phrase back?

I always answer---NO! They go away looking like you are nuts but YOU actually just got rid of a nut. ;) :p

What a couple of grumpy old men :) Seems like a polite way to interupt someone.

James Powers, don't Bogart our mellow, man, you're twisting our melon.
I like that Lizzie is harsh, but.
Makes me wanna get the lead out and pull my socks up.
An awkward task, when one is rattling one's dags, whilst shaking a leg.

Ah so many annoying phrases in such a short space:
Bogart
mellow for anything beside Whisky
Melon for anything beside the ones that grow from a vine
rattling one's dags unless you are in a kennel.
:p lol
