[We can’t use the “r” word. My grandkids look at me as if I cussed when I
say “stupid” bear (I changed it to “silly”). So how DO we describe some
friends or co-worker or boss if we are limited in language? Here are 15 of
the best we’ve heard . . . ]
A few clowns short of a circus.
A few fries short of a Happy Meal.
About three cents short of a nickel.
Crazy as a bucket of frogs.
Doesn’t have all the dots on the dice.
Doesn’t have both oars in the water.
Doesn’t know which side of the toast the butter is on.
Half a bubble off plumb.
In the shopping mall of the mind, he/she’s in the toy department.
Left the store without all the groceries.
Missing a few buttons on the remote control.
Not enough sandwiches for a picnic.
Oil doesn’t reach the dipstick.
One Fruit short of a loom.
One taco short of a combination plate.
