"Inspirational Phrases' That Aren't….......

There are two famous sayings in Norway that parents use to get their kids out in inclement weather. They both rhyme in Norwegian (making them even more annoying) so loose a little in translation to English, but the jist is:
"Out on a trip, never miserable" (ut på tur aldri sur)
and
"There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes" (det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær).
Fuck them both. I have sworn never to say these to my children. If it's -2c and it's sleeting horizontal ice daggers then xbox for the win.

Years ago, My sister and I had a long conversation about things our parents said to us that we swore we would never say (and things that we were absolutely going to say). Reminiscing about that stuff was mostly hilarious, and I'm sure my younger self be slightly horrified at how easily I've turned into my parents.

We all do to some extent. The big difference I've achieved is being home for dinner and bedtime 9/10 days. That's a vast improvement on my father who came home from work late on Friday and then left early on Sunday.
Just to lighten the tone again, here's some really vacuous shite published by one of my Facebook "friends"

my unit's commanding officer used to use this line a lot during a long exercise when we'd be in the field 5-6 days at a time.. and the other one was "the only easy day was yesterday". needless to say he was a US ranger-trained special forces commando.

Especially when it seems like the individuals wearing shirts with the slogan have a lot of weakness.

My dad used to smack me in the back of head and say "Use your head for more than a hatrack son".

My favourite has to be a line trotted out about the Australian property market: "If young people didn't spend all their money on iPhones / holidays / beer / cars / Iron Heart denim, and were less entitled, they could afford to buy a house."
This neglects the fact that the average house in Sydney is now over a million dollars, or around seventeen times the median salary. As a comparison, new apartments in Tokyo were about eighteen times median salary in 1989, at the height of their bubble. OK, it's not a like-for-like comparison, but it gives an idea of the magnitude of the affordability problem. :o

growing up, every time i left the house, my dad would say:
"be good, and if you cant be good be careful, and if you cant be careful name it after me."
i still say it. RIP dad.
another i say frequently
"The only thing thats Absolut(e implied) comes in a bottle"
