Buddy - my father would say things like, you don't think I know what you and your buddies are up to?

My grandma used to look at provocatively dressed teens and call them Hoochie-Coochie Girls. So, we still call them that. Also, she would say "Your Sister's Ass!!" when she would do something and it was her fault (drop something, forget something.) She said it was because I didn't have a sister, so she could say that  She would also say, "In your bra" when she didn't believe what we were saying.

pox, as in "a pox upon thee!"
