Les Grande Duchies learned most of their favorite witticisms from the mom of Duchy Dave. We call them

phyllisisms®!

Here are this month's choice samples:

You're in a bud.
I wouldn't worry if I were you.
It's not going to get any greener!
(when the car in front of her doesn't peel out after the light changes)
Dear dear bread and beer, if we were in Boston we wouldn't be here.
As IF!
(She started it.)
Gun it! (to make you drive faster, e.g., through a yellow light turning red)
Don't get all apey!
Well, it just came from a hot place!
(when you burn the roof of your mouth on molten cheese and crackers, for example)
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Idiot!
(usu. when driving)
What'll hold a lot'll hold a little.
Ugly as sin!!
Put on a sweater, I'm cold!
You slay me!
Me and my Irish whisper!
There's always room for Jell-O®
(Granted, she didn't make that one up, but she does say it)
(and when she was just unable to eat another bite, she'd say...) I'm phull-is.
