Hmm, how about: Bees knees, cats meow, cats pyjamas....

7 months ago reesetee said:

Yeah. How boring is that?

7 months ago palooka said:

Good suggestions - I like have a fit & fall in it. I've done that numerous times.
Without Wordie, words are just ...words. Like parts of a sentence.

my great-grandmother was fond of saying she was going to have a fit and fall in it, though i'm not sure if that's something she made up herself..?

One of my colleagues really likes the phrase it frosts my eyeballs

7 months ago reesetee said:

So that's what's been bothering Wordie lately! It's been moody and complaining of feeling hurt, abandoned, bereft. We just didn't know what to do for it.

Hope you get a break soon, palooka. ;-)

7 months ago palooka said:

Thanks all! Great suggestions! I've been over-burdened with projects lately, & I've unfortunately been neglecting Wordie. But thanks for your comments.

7 months ago reesetee said:

How did I miss these two lists? Fancy pants is one of my favorites. :-)

7 months ago tagyoureit said:
