I noticed #18 went right after the "Gingers",.
"And for a regular dude I’m maybe okay...but what I learned is if there’s a door, I’m going out it not in it"-Duke
"Just because a girl sleeps with her brother doesn't mean she's easy..."-Blues
Off the list ai think sneaksby is the one I’ll try to use sometimes.
I think my favorite old school curse we should bring back is damn your eyes.

Pryor said when either of the combatants would call the other a "peckerhead," he knew the next move would be punches thrown. "WHAT did you call me?" "You're a peckerhead!"
It resonates with me because peckerhead was the "line in the sand" drawn by my Mother whenever my brother and I would argue. We got a verbal for that being "really awful - remember, he's your BROTHER." Yeah, the same brother who drop kicked my head on the kitchen floor to the tune of 9 stiiches and a cracked lower jaw.

Classic!
I use that one occasionally from reading the Hornblower series. Damn your eyes Mr Bush.
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
Good stuff, but I'm on the wrong side of 75 and even I would need a way-back machine to recognize some of these. I recently walked into a coffee shop where I'm a familiar figure who alternates between decaf and regular. When asked I said I'll take hi-test. The young lass looked completely bewildered.
I recall when my Grandfather a gentle giant of a man called my Uncle, his Son, a scoundrel. Pretty damning from someone of his nature.
