If my granny had wheels she'd be a danger.

Grandma, you must be a trolley because you are short for trolley car or trolley bus.

I have heard it! Version I heard was "trolley car". When I first heard I thought the person saying it was insane. Had no clue what it was supposed to mean. Same person once said "he put the manure in the trunk and drove into the wall" which was also an attempt to communicate some sort of layered meaning I'd imagine

i mean it's kind of reassuring that there are probably thousands of these idiomatic sayings floating around in history connected to some sort of humor that's eternally lost to us.

genuinely had never heard this. only version I have heard is the "if my (aunt/granny/mother) had balls she'd be my (uncle/grandad/father)" one.
