What is your favourite expression?

[Jah Lush]

"Exactly right!" It's quite infectious Keef as you've got me saying it now but my favourite expression this year has been Spurs 5 Arsenal 1.>:D

[Moos]

The polishing a turd is poetically expressed in the North-east as 'you can't shine a shite'.

I also like 'mad as a box of frogs'

Jah, to quote the marvellous Nessa (G and S) and to use some of my fave expressions of hers:

"Oh...Oh...OH!...BACK OFF!"

This should be said whilst chewing gum of course.

[Jah Lush]

Actually Wee Quinnie that wasn't quite right. What I meant to say was "5-1 to the Tottenham, 5-1 to the Tottenham." Now that's infectious especially when you haven't beaten the Arsenal in nine years.

Ever one for the crude alternative, I'm a big fan of "mad as a shit-house rat".

"shaking like a shitting dog"

although confess to robbing that one from peter kay.

A variable bit of plagarism from Jack in Father Ted has led to the creation of the wonderful expletive "Arse Biscuits"

for a cleaner one, I still find a lot of use for "robert's your father's brother"

Does the pope shit in the woods?

[Jah Lush]

Is the bear a catholic?

[Brendan]

Are the Kennedy?s gun shy?

[snorky]

"for f*cks sake Derek"

[Moos]

Also like 'oxygen thief'

Applicable for example to those would-be celebrities who are actually only the children of old celebrities. They tend to be happily talentless and functionless but are quite good at looking limp, and have an interesting almost-goodlookingness based on a formula of lots-of-cash-and-time-to-spend-on-appearance x spectacularly beautiful mother / talented but plug-ugly father.

On of the guys in me office just came out wiv "a sharp tongue can cut your throat"

Interesting...

[Bellenden Belle]

It's from the film Sweet Charity....

"And she lived hopefully every after"

Gosh, am I really such a cliche?

[Brendan]

Well if we?re going to get all hippy about it, I like, ?Keep a cool head and a warm heart.?

That coming from someone who has recently been told by a colleague that he can be a little too, ?hot-headed and idealistic.?

[SteveT]

"Silly as a sack of lights".

I never understood this until I realized it meant lungs of sheep and pigs of which, when I was a kid we fed to the cat.

[martinchiversfanclub]

Not sure about favourite but my worse expression from my wife starts with "I've been thinking" which usually means she has an idea which entails me doing something i hate such as driving to the coast on a bank holiday weekend.

[KalamityKel]

or parting wiv a large amount of money?

[Jah Lush]

"Keep a good head and always carry a lightbulb." Bob Dylan in '65.

[TillieTrotter]

A good SE London one, God knows where it came from but....."Well F**K my old boots off"

[Jah Lush]

What! And die a cripple.

[Brendan]

I've always liked, "Well, fuck me sideways."

[TillieTrotter]

I was going to say that one Bren, where the hell did that come from?

[Jah Lush]

You can take the girl out of Peckham but you can't taken the Peckham out of the girl.

[TillieTrotter]

"He/She has a face only a mother could love"

My cousin from Yorkshire used to use " I'm that ungry, I could eat a scabby donkey"

[lozzyloz]

My dad cracks me up when he says "Goan get da ting in da ting!" Yet somehow we always know what he means. Another fave is "Rice and peas!" (Said like OMG).

[KalamityKel]

hahahahahaha Stop it ur killing me loz!
