No matter how far down the adulting rabbit hole we go, moms always know exactly what to say, don't they?

There is no expiry date for a good catchphrase, and when prompted by Reddit user iceshard1232 to share their moms' most classic slogans, the r/AskReddit community came through with both bizarre and profound sayings.
"As dit 'n slang was, dan sou dit jou gepik het!" (dutchshelbs)
