What are some of your funny, family allusions?? How did they come about?

I come from a large family and when we went out to restaurants, dad limited us to entrees only to keep the bill lower. Occasionally, when he was feeling particularly generous, he’d say “the sky’s the limit” as we were handed the menus. This meant we could order shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. One sister thought he said “disguise the limit”, meaning he didn’t want anyone to know how large the bill was. Now, every time we make some budget-busting decision, we always justify it by saying “disguise the limit”.
