What is your favourite expression?

[wee quinnie]

Mine is "Yer head's cut", meaning of course, "You are talking nonsense".

I love the imagery of your braincells leaking out.

[Nero]

Anntwacky, which is a Lancashire/Cheshire bastardisation of 'antique', used to denote something old-fashioned, out-of-date. Nero (I've never heard anyone say it apart from my nana and her friends.) Nero

[bald marauder]

Faff-on.

Is that how you spell it?

Meaning "I'm not doing that, it looks/sounds like a complete faff-on". Also faff around, as in "stop faffing around".

[Brendan]

My other half and her family say Antwacky. I didn't have a clue what they were on about until it was explained. I thought they were asking for tobacco or something. :-S

[Michael Palaeologus]

"I'm hungry enough to eat a scabby 'os"

[wee quinnie]

Or

"I could eat a horse and chase the jockey"

[SeanMacGabhann]

I still like . "go away and shite". . Meaning bugger off

[Brendan]

There?s one similar in Afrikaans that when translated means ?go shit in the cornfield?.

[dulwichmum]

I am enjoying the word "flounce" at the moment, and even the expressions "hey ho" and "hurrah." But then, only people who realise how bloody alien these phrases are to my natural vocabulary will realise why I am laughing out loud while typing this. I am a retired bricklayer from Penge afterall...

[Keef]

What are you drinking? Is my fave when it's said to me.

Sean I sed to have a mate at uni who said that to people... You Irish are an odd bunch ;-)

[dulwichmum]

Indeed Mr Keef, the Irish are strange. But I have heard that they are warm and considerate lovers...

[spadetownboy]

i,ll second that.

[Alan Dale]

I like the following phrases:

1. No sense in polishing a turd.

2. Ignore your sunk costs.

3. Filet of fish for my wife.

4. Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

5. A man is a man is a man.

6. Lad's lad amongst lads.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Bodgit and Leggit - the names of the dodgy builders/painters/mechanics

[Incitatus]

I always knew them as 'Bodgit & Scarper'

and ChavWivaLawDegree you must have come across the infamous law firm 'Sue, Grabbit & Run'

[Michael Palaeologus]

"Funny chaps, the Ladies"

[Brendan]

I?ve been enjoying ?? to have ever troubled daylight.? at the moment. As in ?The ugliest bugger to have ever troubled daylight.? Or ?fattest arse?? etc.

I also like poppycock as it involves posh ladies saying cock.

[feedlebra]

Wind your neck in.

[MadWorld74]

Christ on a bike...

calling everybody 'Ghastly Beasts'...

[DaveR]

I know a guy who drives a fiat multipla (odd ugly mpv with 3 seats at the front)

Now known as the "Loser Cruiser"

[mockney piers]

"Christ on a plastic dolphin"

"Gutted from Ilford"

[MadWorld74]

"Gutted from Ilford".....!!!!!!!!!LOL!

[MadWorld74]

Snodgrass

[Mark]

the old playground question:

"Are you a Benny tied to a tree?"

"No"

"Benny on the loose! There's a Benny on the loose! Runaway""
