Back when my stepmother was alive, and my hair was not gray, I was a literal red headed stepchild.
Never liked that saying.
I used to like the phrase “I will toss you like a salad”, but that term has been co-opted by the homos, and it means something entirely different now.
I don’t which sounded worse, a “red headed stepchild” or (as I was called) “towheaded”. Looks like we both survived ;’}
