Here's a few so far:

"Loose lips sink ships!"

"Curiosity killed the cat."

"Don't let the cat out of the bag."

"Cats have nine lives."

What creepy sayings can you think of or have heard of?

Anyways, I also tell you a little about one of these sayings. It's the last one.

When my late maternal grandma was a little girl, she had heard this saying, "Cats have nine lives." My late grandma was very curious about this saying and unfortunately put it to the test. She found some nails and possibly a hammer. The search for cats wasn't hard, her own mother; my maternal great-grandmother had owned several cats.

My late maternal grandma somehow got all these cats gathered up. She probably was clawed, bitten and scratched up as she nailed everyone of the poor cats to the walls of her home, I think she nailed the cats by the tail (I didn't ask). My late maternal grandma probably didn't know what she was doing, but her actions of nailing the cats to the walls, had killed them. Her mom discovered her daughter's actions and gave her one hell of a whopping.

I don't know why my mom told me this story about my late grandma, it's always scared the crap out of me. I think it's probably given me extreme paranoia, because I have been told a few times by my own mom that, "You're just like my mother."

I have my own cat and I am deathly afraid of hurting him like that. Was what my mom did normal? Who tells their daughter that? No wonder I was so fucked up as a kid and still recovering. I still have extreme paranoia of my mom and also my grandma. My mom didn't let me spend much time with her, especially alone. I was my favorite of my late maternal grandma's grandkids, because I was the first granddaughter to be born.

Maybe, I should write a creepypasta about this, because typing this out is pretty hard. I used to tell this story a lot, because like my mom used to tell, "Loose lips sink ships" meaning that I am a blabbermouth.

My late grandma also threw a knife at my mom, forced my aunt to get abortion and marry the jerk that knocked her up, my other aunt had to go to the Phillipines to have my cousin and there is so many more.

I hate to speak ill of the dead, but...I don't know. My late grandma, barely anyone attend her funeral for how she was in life. That would make a good story. Anyway I heard some creepy sayings I suppose, but one is funny.

The funny saying was my mother told me her mother would often say, "Beat you 'till you buzard loaf. I never knew what that meant, but pictured it was a bird baked into a loaf, so did my mom. It probably doesn't funny, but how I picture it, it is.

As for the scary saying, it was one my aunt said to my mom about, "If you spank him he'll grow up to be a serial killer."

This seemed kind of creepy because it was addressed toward me after a slammed a Tonka truck upside my cousins head... I don't remember doing that, but everyone says it in my family. Back to the saying, it creeped me out when I heard it because it made me think does my aunt have foresight? Could that have happened if I were spanked? Did she predict I'd develope a mental abnormality as I grew into my teens. By the way, she said that to no one else, it was just concerning me. In fact of all my siblings I was never spanked.

Oh yeah, there was another saying I heard, "Don't laugh when a hearse goes by or you'll be the one next to die." That's creepy because what if you laughed and didn't notice a hearse drive by you. The sucks if you die because you laughed, but didn't see it. Another one was from my grandmother about, "If you whistle a spirit takes your soul." That might be a subconscious reason as to why I can't whistle.
