mad today, glad tomorrow

Old colloquial southern saying "Mad today, glad tomorow", means just what it says for instance if a neighbor, friend, family member with whom you are on decently close terms may come to misunderstanding over a slight or mishap perceived by one or the other and suffer hurt or injurious feelings to their pride, ego, etc. He/she would or will soon get over that and move on to resume their relationship (with hopefully, a better understanding of each other) again...therefore, mad today, glad tomorow! Not mad at nobody! Just sayin', sometimes a thing, matter/issue has to be put in check by making someone think about their actions that may have brought on the discord. Be Happy, Worry!

Miss Evie expressed her regret emotionally and out loud to the group of ladies who had forgotten to bring the cold salads for the spring tea buffet to which her sister Margaret who headed the sunshine committee, replied...mad today, glad tomorrow!

Get the Glad mug.

glad-handout

Where someone eagerly/effusively greets you in a super-jovial "hearty handshake" manner merely to hopefully put you more in the mood to give him a loan or ride or other gratuity that he doesn't deserve and probably will not be able/willing to pay you back for.

In one of the classic Burns & Allen shows, Gracie laughingly reads over some old love-letters from George, which are in poetry-form and are invariably glad-handouts, as in, "I love you lots, I love you plenty; I love you true, send me twenty!"
