Got one
“Jerk the tar outta u”
Bet u got it.
Would love to see those notebooks.
Yep... That's a good one. Sort of similar to the one up there ^^^ somewhere..... "I'm gonna jerk a knot in you."
I'll give you a little sample of some of the "early" ones.... These were back in the late 1960s-1970s... Most of them you probably have heard. Some of them are easily recognizable.
Such as:
"Silence is golden"
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"
"A stitch in time saves nine"
"Birds of a feather flock together"
"The early bird gets the worm"
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained"
Then there are the ones a little more esoteric, a little more unusual.
"Beware of Greeks bearing gifts"
"Pride goeth before a fall"
"Don't cast your pearls before swine"
"Don't try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of time and it irritates the pig."
And the occasional ODD one...
"One rat dropping spoils a pot of rice"
And the really profound ones...
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
