Every dad has them. Those words or phrases that he uses in certain situations. I remember when politicians would come on the radio or television my dads favorite names were Flannel Mouth, and Cement Head. When my brother and I would get in trouble, or do something nonsensical we'd hear the refrain, "ach, you rummies". Didn't know what he meant at first, but after considering the circumstances I realized that we were a couple of knuckleheads. Every now and then I'll be watching a movie from the 40's and hear some one being called a rummy.
My personal favorite, and the one that hit the nail on the head was, "You're as handy as a rubber crutch". Well yeah, I may be useless, but you have to admit, I sure can be a lot of fun.
There are others that I can't recall at this time, but I do know this much, "If I had all of your money I'd throw mine away."

Hey, you're not a rubber crutch. You do whatever work comes your way.
How about this riddle... "I bet you have more money in your pocket than I have in your pocket."
And how about..."Numbskulls"
I'll try and think of more.
