In our home, we have some common sayings. We all know what they mean.
When someone else says them, we are somehow happy and comforted. It's
sort of like eating your mom's meatloaf.
You have probably heard us saying some of these things. You might not have understood what we mean. Some of them seem a little harsher than what we mean, especially when you don't know we are kidding. Sorry, Carsten.
This list is the version that was influenced by media. There are other lists that are home grown, that will be discussed another time.
