Darken the doorstep

To Darken the Doorstep is when you go to someone's home and you cast a shadow over their doorstep. It usually used to describe the action of someone you know and haven't seen for a while unexpectedly turns up at your home or it's something you tell an unwanted visitor not to do ever again.
Sue: "OMG, you never guess who had the nerve to darken the doorstep this morning."
Pat: "Who?"

Sue: "Jo!"
Pat: "Jo, Jo who?"
Sue: " you know the one that coursed all that trouble at my party."
Pat: " Oooh! That Jo, haven't seen her around here for ages, did you invite her in?"
Sue: " No I did not! Told her to clear off and to never darken my doorstep again."

Since God was a boy

The expression "since God was a boy" is a humorous and exaggerated way of saying "a very long time." It implies that an event or situation has been happening for so long that it's been around since the beginning of time, or even since God's youth. It's not meant to be taken literally, as it's a common idiom used to emphasize duration.
Q. "How long has that been there?"

A. "Ages, since God was a boy"
