    I'm all in. As in, I am pooped. As in, I'm exhausted.

    I have not heard that one.

    I've heard it here and there, mainly from old codgers. Then I heard it a couple of days ago in a Laurel & Hardy short, Them Thar Hills. Probably a version of "I'm done in."

    So poor you don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out.

    I like the expression "can't find it, grind it" especially after I had to learn how to drive a 60' bucket truck with a dual axel shift knob over the Grapevine after the snow cleared learning how to shift on the fly. I pissed a lot of truckers off that day.

    Manual transmissions are now a theft deterrent.

    All our new dumptrucks are coming with Allison automatics, cause they can't hire anyone who knows how to drive a 13 speed.

    Woke up on the wrong side of the bed... a phrase passed down from ancient Roman codgers when it was believed to be bad luck to get out of bed on the left side.
