DH has a great uncle who is extra deaf, bless his heart. The family was sitting around talking once and his uncle randomly said, "You say you saw a bobcat??" in response to something someone said. (I don't remember what was being discussed, but it had nothing to do with seeing bobcats.) So when it's clear that someone hasn't been paying attention to the conversation, or if a misunderstanding seems imminent, we say, "You say you saw a bobcat?!"

Another one - my FIL says, "I have muscles in places that you don't even have places!"
And related - we refer to that stitch in your side as your "out-of-shape gland". I.e., "I couldn't finish running that last mile, because my out-of-shape gland started hurting!"
When I was little and I would tell my dad I was thirsty so he would go get me a drink, he always responded with, "I'm Friday." I used to get so pissed. Or whatever 5 year olds get that's comparable.
I had to think of things I heard growing up and here are some more "Well pick my peas" or "slap my head and call me stupid" "Well Butter my butt and call me a biscuit" My grandparents would say that if they were surprised by something they found out
"You can shake his hand but count your fingers when you're done" My grandmother said that frequently for shady folks
And "if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas"

Lol my dad did that too except when I would say " I'm hungry" he would say " Hi hungry I'm _____ nice to meet you" always pissed me off

If my Grandma thought someone was being a smart ass she would say "Smarty Smarty had a party and no one came but Mr. Smarty." (she said this a lot in her last couple years when we would do puzzles and someone would put a piece in)
We say "It's hotter than Africa out there." a lot, since we live in Florida.
"Oh, Fiddlesticks!" and "Well, shit in a bucket!" are two of my grandma's favorite expressions. DH says people are "Delta Bravo's" when he wants to call them douchebags.
I have a friend who says Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (WTF) all the time.
My dad used to tell us to "shape up or ship out".
He also says he's "checking his eyelids for cracks" when he's taking a nap. My husband says he's "taking a long blink".
