"treated him like a red headed step child"
Did your family use that expression? Was reminded of it today when my husband remarked on a situation, used that expression, and followed it with "and he didn't even have red hair."

I've heard the expression quite a few times.

My dad still says "people in hell want ice water..."

snowballs chance in hell .

at work the old guys would say , he's standing on thin ice and he's got one foot on a banana peel . ------ Said to a guy in a precarious situation is best I can explain it .

said ABOUT a guy in a precarious situation . Also said to a guy in a precarious situation if you are making fun of his precarious situation .

cut a fat hog on the azz !! Maybe just something my Dad would say , don't know where he heard it . Meant that a guy was looking for a reward / windfall that he wasn't really entitled to like in a lawsuit . ------ something like that !!
