> No self respecting American male would ever say that. I'll have to assume that "self-respecting" is the key point; I picked that phrase up in Wooster, Ohio [maps.google.com], around 6:30 in the morning, while waiting for the drive-through liquor store to open. (The owner was nice enough to open early for us, so by 7:00, we were well on our way to drunkeness...) Ah, the daze of my youth... 68. Youth lives on hope, old age on remembrance. 67. Some people are so busy learning the tricks of the trade that they don't have time to learn the trade.

I hope you were not responding to my question :), for the following reasons: 1. I was quoting grandpa, everything is in Italic.
2. I perfectly know how to count backwards, I started the thread :) But, still want to hear from grandpa. 59. "Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly." [edited by: Habtom at 11:47 am (utc) on Aug. 28, 2007]

Since the expression need not be applicable, here's my all time favorite expression (implied chiasmus)- #49 He grounds the warship he walks on. For the non-native, it's a play on "he worships the ground 'she' walks on. Clever? It's a ten. Whip out your rhetoric books. ; )

In my youth, the phrase was 'Don't trust anyone over 30'. It served us well, I think. Nowadays, most people (not all) that I've met, under the age of 30, are irresponsible and untrustworthy. More than anything, however, the phrase really says to just hang with people your own age, IMO. (As I sit here writing this, listening to a woman my own age blabber away, I long for a different perspective.)

-- the phrase really says to just hang with people your own age -- which makes post 2 more, but not related to age as much .. I would also like to thank every person who contributes to WebmasterWorld.com! #47. You become who you hang out with... and #46. Everybody goes crazy their own way.
