Tight as a bark on a tree.

I love these old phrases and use most of the ones in this thread commonly. My all time favorite though is "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey". Sounds dirty, but is not at all!

Meaning that statement or argument is limp, like the state of your penis while high on opium.

My mom used to say "woe betide you" whenever she was warning us kids.
I always thought it was some kind of pirate phrase.

Yeah, that's exactly what he said.
I also like the curtains one.
I take it as another domestic abuse euphamism.
As in, I'll close the curtains so the neighbors can't see me beating the crap out of you.

So THAAAAAAAT's what that means. I always figured it was some kind of reference to the show being over or something. Yours makes way more sense. And I'm officially adding it to my vocabulary.
BBS, next time you and me get into it on here, it'll be curtains!!

When my uncle is satisfied or happy with a result he always says; "Just like downtown!"
...and a couple of classics from my late great Baba; "couch = chesterfield"
...when referring to a naked woman on T.V. or magazine she'd say; "Even animals have tails to cover themselves up!"
Love it!
