finer 'n frogs hair (answer when someone asks how you are doing)

fair ta middlin' (answer when someone asks how you are doing)

sowing yer randy oats (being cheeky or sassy in a sort of flirtatious way)

when spoken in a resigned tone meant: "whatever your grandmother says - goes!"

when said after a few beers with his buddies at the KofC meant: "whatever you want!"

and when said in response to my tears or pouting, in a mollifying tone meant: "chin up, as soon as they're not looking we'll go get ice cream"
