It's something my grandmother used to say all the time

She was probably referring to either the Bob Dylan song or the trial ("Virginia vs. John Brown").\n\nSong:\nhttp://www.bobdylan.com/songs/johnbrown.html\n\nTrial:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_%28Trial%29

tell her you will always love her because she is the special grandma that helped bring you to me. and that is something that will never change no matter what.

It's an archaic/grandiose way of saying "from now on, she'll never believe anything a guy says."

I'm in my 50s and this sort of inflection was rarely heard before maybe the mid 1980s. Until then, it was pretty much associated with "Valley Girl" speaking style. And yeah, it's confusing and annoying. I find myself constantly asking "Was that a question or a statement?"

i think it was sh!t or a$$, might have been sh!ta$$. my aunt was a master at cussing, and she was always saying things like you don't know sh!t from shine ola and your uncle don't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground. cracks me up thinking about some of the stuff she would say.

Because people tend to get nasty and angry with things they do not them themselves understand or participate in. So they lash out to make themselves heard instead of just biting their tongue and not showing that they don't know. What was it grandma use to say, ohh yeah. People might think your a fool but open your mouth and then they will know for sure.

Even though there are a couple things it was called such as moonshine, or XXX to others. Granny herself called it "roomatiz medicine"

Thanks! I'll keep this in mind! I just got back from college for the summer and my grandmother missed me something awful! I found this *amazing* picture of her and all the grandkids. :D Thank you!

There's no-one quite like grandma, I'm sure you will agree, she's always been a friend to you, and she's a friend to me. Grandma we love you, grandma we do, although you may be far away, we think of you.\nAnd someday when we're older, we'll look back and say, there's no-one quite like grandma she has helped us on our way.
