Sh*t BA Says: As All Get Out

I say this one all the time, but y’all, I gotta confess, the first time I typed it, I thought, “What the hell does that mean?"

I mean, seriously. What the ever-loving hell do those words put in that order MEAN?

And I use this phrase a dozen times or more a day.

It’s late as all get out.

That man’s mean as all get out.

It’s hot as all get out.

If y’all don’t straighten up, Momma’s fixin’ to get peeved as all get out.

I use it in speech, and these days, I just type it without a worry at all, but that first time?

Well, I was worried as all get out that no one would know what I meant...

Sh*t BA Says: Dumb as a Box of Hammers

 

Does this need explanation?

No.

Do I say it?

ALL THE TIME.

Usually in the “I swear to God, Julia, that son of a bitch is as dumb as a box of hammers. Can we kill him with a rock?"

BTW, the answer to that question is ALWAYS, “Yes, baby."

See also, sharp as a bag of wet mice and lacking two brain cells to rub together to spark off a thought.

Much love, y’all.

Sh*t BA Says: Standing Around with Your Teeth in Your Mouth

So every single time I use this phrase, I hear an editor say, “What does that mean?"
Standing there with your teeth in your mouth means just sitting and staring instead of doing, well, anything. I’ve heard the phrase 10 million times in my life, usually in this sense: Jesus Christ, child, stop standing there with your teeth in your mouth and get your ass over here and help me!
Also, Goddamnit, stop standing there with your teeth in your mouth and answer the door.
Or, for fuck’s sake, you can either get off your ass and be useful or just sit there with your teeth in your mouth

Much love, y’all.
