does anybody else say "hay is for horses, cows, and sheep. too bad you're a jackass" when someone yells "hey!" at them or is that another thing my dad made up

#my dad says so many things where i'm just like oh that's normal and then i grow up and lo and behold NO ONE SAYS THAT! #but also sometimes i assume he made it up and he didn't!! #i assumed he made up hitch in my giddy-up and he did not (though i still hold that he uses it nonstandardly (to mean wedgie)) #i wasn't sure about 'can be. sure would!' but that seems to be a him original #he also loooooves malaphors. he likes to pair them: e.g. wake up and smell the roses/stop and smell the coffee #which is cute BUT. he thinks he made them up! like each of them individually but also the concept of malaphors (mixed idioms) 🙄 #though he doesn't call them that. he calls them [his name]isms (because he thinks he made them up) #one time i was trying to figure out if a term my family uses is unique to us or not and i looked it up and got a hit on urban dictionary #so i opened it and IMMEDIATELY COULD TELL THAT HE WROTE THE ENTRY. HE PUT OUR FAMILY WORD IN URBAN DICTIONARY. #katymacky if you're reading this i am REELING over the knowledge that your dad also says jean-claude pennay!!! #WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THAT FROM??? DO THEY SUBSCRIBE TO THE SAME 'DORKY DADS OF THE PNW' MAGAZINE?????? #idioms #or something idek #swears #i guess??? #really struggling with how to index this lol #fun with words #my posts #oh also i almost didn't use the oxford comma for once in my life because the cadence of this has a pause after 'horses' #and then 'cows and sheep' are kind of run together #hay is for HORSES‚ COWS and SHEEP. too bad you're a JACKASS #i actually think in this case this maybe came from my stepmother? because i don't remember him saying it until after he met her #but maybe that's just because she says HEY! a lot more than other people i would have seen him around?
