Remember them ? I recently realized the young generation doesn't know them. So I propose to share with you what I remember and learn new ones.

Here you have hte first one.

"Better late than never"

"Can't never could do nothin'."

That's Texan for, "If you think you can't, then you can't". A old neighbor of mine used to say that all the time when someone complained that they couldn't do something.
