Did your parents have any phrases, sayings or wise words?

In our case, Daisy, it was CFFTB - chock-full, fit to bust.

My father, surprised, would say 'Well, I'll go hopping away...' His favourite expletive was 'Pillooks!' (accent the second syllable).

Mother, asked her age : 'I'm as as old as my tongue and a little older then my teeth', and of a woman who migt be upset by something 'Ooh, she'll have a pink fit with her leg up!'

They must think I've fell off a flittin' (ie they must think I was born yesterday)

What's for dinner? we'd ask.

"Duck under the table and grouse all day."

or

"Wait and see pie"

Playing on a climbing frame we got:

"Don't come running to me with a broken leg!"

My mum often got things wrong - once she said 'You have hit the hammer on the head'. Realising it didn't sound right, she continued 'With a nail'.
A saying of hers which proved to be horribly prophetic was 'You get no better thought of'.

When me and my sister got a little "carried away" my dad would always say

A jokes a joke but you've gone too far.

Grrrrrrr still makes me cringe today.

My mum used to tell me I was 'As black as Newgate's knocker' if I got dirty - and for years I thought she was saying 'Newgies knocker' and couldn't work out who Newgie was, which used to worry me.
