Best, Marie

PS when I ask my teenage daughter where something is that I need, she
says "up your butt" Is this disrespectful?

PPS the toilet plunger is where it belongs. (next to the toilet)

That depends. Are the items in question in fact up your butt? If so,
then this sounds like common courtesy.

Weird.

I have a friend who used to reply to any questions regarding the
locations of objects with "If it was up your ass you'd feel it."

Apparently that particular meme has a high rate of mutation.

He had it wrong. It goes, "If it was up your ass you'd know it."

As I was looking for something (for instance, my baseball glove in the
refrigerator), my grandma used to say, "If it was a snake you'd have
found it by now." I never understood this saying, and once replied by
saying, "If it was a snake I wouldn't be looking for it."

She kicked my ass in front of my friends at the city park the next
day.

Should be: "IF IT WAS A SNAKE IT WOULD'VE BIT YOU BY NOW."

she had it wrong. *my* grandma, and also my mother, said it this
way: "if it was a snake, it would have bit you by now". which
makes more sense, because it does not suggest you would want to
look for a snake ... only that you were close enough for DANGER!


> She kicked my ass in front of my friends at the city park the next

you mean "ripped off your arm and slapped you with its hand."

Boy, are you going to feel silly when you discover that I followed up
to myself to correct myself. It was indeed "If it was a snake, it
would've bit you by now."

Exactly.

Note to You Kids at Home: If your mom or grandma say to you "If it
was a snake, it would've bit you by now," be sure to point out that
proper use of the subjunctive mood would require her to say, "If it
WERE a snake, it would've bit you by now." Then duck.

Well, yeah, until he went and corrected himself, I thought the whole
point of his post was how his grandma had screwed up the expression.

My mom was the one who not only spoke like that, but insisted that we
use the subjunctive properly in front of her. All our friends thought
we were dweebs who couldn't speak English.

Right indeed. And proper use of the future perfect would
require "it would've bitten or throttled you by now" -- depending
on its choice of making acquaintance (viper vs. accelerated python).

Are you implying that there is some sort of Brazilian Biting Duck
riding on the back of any snake which might bite a child looking
for something? And then the duck bites them as well?
