Judy you are pushing my dictionary beyond it's printed word. No I have not heard these phrases and I believe you need to explain them so they can become part of our lexicon!

Oh..what ever blows your dress up--- Kenny worked with an elderly man..and anytime , he would ask the man ,what he wanted to do next..his reply was..{oh whateve blows your dress up..meaning.. I dont care..waht ever makes you happy??????????]haha who knows???
A bought lesson is better than a free one ---- Kennys daddy always said this to them..in other words, if they tried something and messed up....they would learn from it. once you messed up...and discovered it..you had learnt a valueble [free] lesson.. [WOW...that was hard to explain... did it make sense?

My brother inlaw used to say 'eh, the old lady kissed the cow' and shrug like, 'what can you do?' . The possible origin of that still scares me!

Apparently my book is limited but useful I hope!
How about "naked as a jail bird" or " go fry an egg"...

Naked as a jail bird..I've heard this one.. but
go fry an egg... whats that???hahahha

Umm "go fry an egg"... stop bugging me.
John's grandpa would say "tighter than a crab's ass and that's water tight". The only reference this book has to that saying is " tight as a tick" which means extremely tight with one's money... Which I think is pretty much what g'pa Henery meant.
