Default dark everyday expressions...

ever actually think about things we say as children or everyday?

examples:

fairy tales... 2 children abandoned to be eaten by a witch? a giant who grinds your bones to make bread?

"ring around the rosies" is about the bubonic plague!

"cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye" ?!?!


does anybody know of any other common phrases that are really dark?

In a coons age: doesn't mean anything bad to blacks, back in the day, coons were thought to live like 30+ years (although they really live about 15)

Cotton picking... eh that's funny to me (sorry if that offends anyone-bugs bunny says it!)

Don't try to teach your Grandma to suck eggs

You shouldn't teach anyone who knows alot more than you do.

That sounds like a Ren and Stimpy reference if I've ever heard one.

I have always heard it as your mother's back.

"When Hell freezes over."

-> I guess that could be a dark expression

Maybe it was intended to be understood as "I love you until I/you die"

How about Pacman? He consumes the undead and says "wicca wicca wicca"

"London bridge is falling down" ... Yay?

Jack and Jill broke their heads open (well, at least Jack did). So did Humpty... and he's not necessarily an egg, it never said he was in the story.

No.

He says "Pakku Pakku Pakku" which is the Japanese onomatepia for eating. Hence, "Pakku-man".
