Long Time, No Post

I don't know where the phrase, "Long time, no see" originated. It's one of those sayings that's been in use for as long as I can remember. It means "I haven't seen you in a while". I know there are phrases that are specific to a region; and phrases that are specific to a family. My favorite family phrase is "Oh, for crying out loud in a bucket"; meaning "Your dramatics have reached the point of ridiculousness". It conjures up a great image for me.

Do you have any unusual family phrases?
