Weird. People. Very. As they get agier they get rigider and stiffier. Well not all of them by golly. Not everyone. Do you get upset easily?

Especially when other people do not conform to YOUR rigid expectations of them? I would say to you about that. Go suck an egg. Now I know that's  a putdown. I've never said it before. I don't even know what it means but it sounds harsh and dismissive and contemptuous and disdainful. Ever suck an egg? How ?

    (but don't let that upset you any)

    As people age they tend to become more set in their ways (and by golly ya' ain't a gonna change 'em no how!).  They've been around so long that they're sure they know what's what and no one can tell them otherwise (you young whippersnappers with yer high falutin gizmos think ya got all the answers.  well let me tell ya, ya don't!). Unfortunately, sometimes they're wrong.  



    Although sucking eggs used to be considered good for you, they're saying now that it isn't.  Something about raw egg containing salmonella.
    Instead of saying 'go suck an egg', my generation used to say "get bent".  Definitely not nice, but it got the point across.

    Seriously Shuhak? People actually sucked eggs? How? They pinpricked an egg on the end and then sucked on it like a  straw? Ewwww! Doesn't sound very appetizing. I never heard "get bent". If you said that to me I wouldn't have a clue what you meant and I'd ask for a definition. If I did what would you say?  I'm a lot looser older and I don't understand why others aren't as well. You got nothing to lose. Who is gonna grade you or punish you or fire you? Goodness gracious me oh my. Thank you for your reply! :)

    Well, yes.  I never did it, mind you.  Just the thought of eating a raw egg turns my stomach (unless it's turned into meringue)

    I would say it meant "get lost", "yeah, right" or "kiss off".

    Long ago there used to be "Orange Julius" stands where they sold a pretty tasty drink. You could have it with a raw egg blended in for extra protein. Never got the raw egg kind but the other kind was delicious. I guess it was a fad. Haven't seen any Orange Julius stands in decades. Thank you for your reply Shuhak! :)

    The only Orange Julius stands I ever saw were at our county fair.  They were so good!  I haven't been to the fair in many years, although I hear the Orange Julius stand is still there.  However, I wasn't aware one could get one with a raw egg in it.

    I was quite young at that time and even though the egg got all swished around and blended I didn't like the thought raw egg so I never tried one. They charged extra for of course. So you still see them then? They used to be in malls. Usually in or near a food court. Thank you for your reply Shuhak! Brings back the "good old days"!  :)

    Go suck an egg is something old people say.

    Tell them to go suck.  Let them choose what they suck.

    Actually I never "heard" it said that I can recall Sharon. I have read it said and always wondered what the he** it was all about. Thank you for your reply and the Bimbo don graphic. That's him without the anti-bald medicine he takes. The old weird doc the Bimbo had for over 30 years spilled the beans about the balding meds and that's why Bimbo don sent in his thugs to steal all the doctor's files on him. That's loyalty and gratitude for ya! :( This post was edited by RosieG at June 1, 2018 10:51 AM MDT

    I think it meant that to suck a raw egg is awful.  So, they are wishing an "OH GET LOST" kind of jab at someone. 

    We are past the "get lost" jabs with Trump.  I have to hold my tongue and not swear at anyone, but I can use Trump and my hatred of Trump to try and correct me and how I feel about all of this.  But if it gets worse, I don't see how I can hold out.  

    This man is dismantling everything we hold as sacred in this country.

    All of the Bimbo don graphics always flatter him bigly Sharon. Are there none anywhere that show him as he really is or would we all turn to stone if we looked upon them? Just wonderin'. Every day I wonder if the  Bimbo will get us into a nuclear war. What happens if North Korea doesn't do what he wants. War? He has John Bolton whispering sweet nothings in his ear 24/7. I think Bolton would prefer attacking Iran as would Israel (I really dislike Netanyahu) but with Bolton any old war will do. SIGH. Thank you for your reply! :)

    The only thing that upsets me in an instant is stupidity and I've always been like that.

    Well Zack your goose is cooked then :(.  Can you point out one thing Bimbo don has ever said or done that wasn't stupid? Stupid dumb is his touchstone. It isn't that it's instant. It's that he is always that all the time everywhere anywhere no where somewhere. Stupid dumb is the way he comes and goes and stays and leaves and talks and smirks and laughs and insults and attacks and lies. Centerpiece of donald john is stupid dumb. So you must get upset a lot. Condolences. I wish I had a solution but I don't. Well just between thee and me I do but I dare not utter it. Read between the lines. SIGH. Oh well here it is.  Just put him in the middle of a harem.
