I was reading job openings at EA's website and saw this on one of the descriptions "The Sims 4 has an extremely unique player base attracting a large young female-skewing audience." It got me thinking...

Old enough to know better.
...but young enough to do it, anyway? Me too!
I’ve actually never heard this part of the expression lol. I’m 35.
HAHAHa well I've been exposed to a LOT that my peer cohort have not. My grandmother was like a full generation older, more like other people's great-grandmothers, and she died when I was 11.
One of my grandmother's favorite sayings was "You thought like you lit" which I had heard before, but what I didn't know what there was a second verse to that, quite ribald, and it was for when someone really messed up, like we might say "not only stepped in it (dog doo) but tracked it right to the kitchen" and it uses a meaning of 'lit' that is perhaps antiquated as well, having to do with how you sit down or land on something, to light upon it:
"You thought like you lit;
You thought you farted, but you really ___!"
I had never heard that one anywhere else, but I guess the oldsters knew how to sling some sarcasm when they thought they weren't overheard!
:D Another one I loved was "mutton dressed as lamb" to describe a woman wearing styles far too young for her, and therefore losing her dignity in the process. I got exposed to so many aphorisms that no one else my age can place, plus literary references because I grew up reading classic literature (of my own free will, no less!) that it made me not feel much in common with my age cohort. Well, that plus other things.
