Foreman on my first real job (I was 13) would say, "Boy, I'm gonna put a lump on your head so big you'll have to stand on tiptoe to rub it. " :)

Boy, that goes back to the Flapper Era.

My grandfather's generation would say when something is good, "That's the berries". Like, "This fried chicken is really the berries."

"Not the sharpest knife in the drawer"

"Not the fastest fish in the bowl"

My favorite but more of a term than a Colloquilism, when my kids ask for something they don't need my response is normally, "Well, TFB" for To Fing Bad. They know it means "no" but don't get the actuall acronym. It always makes the wife break a smile though :)
