That's interesting Jah, when I lived in Liverpool they used to say "got a face like a robber's dog"... Guess the butcher trade wasn't doing too well at the time, and robbers are far more common up there ;-)


At uni a common one with the lads in my hall was "Jog on shitter!"

I like one my since departed father informed us of from his fishing days in Mayo (West of Ireland). 'Shite on the Killala boys'. Why these boys ever merited such a comment I've no idea but with remaining family it's sort of used intermittently to express any form of dissatisfaction.

some favorites:


so hungry I could eat my own arm

face like a slapped arse

better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick

bloody hellfire

I'd rather remove my eyeballs with a spoon (when faced with watching some band you don't like etc)


but more usually:


oh, fu*k that.

"Up and down like a whoare's drawers" (my boss says it all the time!). He also refers to attractive ladies as 'fine looking fillies". Also, if I ask my boyfriend "What's that smell?" he'll say "It's your top lip". made me laugh at first....not anymore though!

I've always liked:


Face like a bulldog licking piss off a stinging nettle


or


Fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down

Here are a few that (I think) are specifically localised to the group of friends I grew up with. We still use them today normally to the bemusement of our respective spouses.


Cockwobble. As in: Don?t catch a cockwobble. When telling someone not to overreact.


Fuckcake. As in: What are you doing you fuckcake?!


Mucklefucked. As in: I was completely mucklefucked. When referring to being in a confused, normally drug/alcohol induced state.

My crazy Aunt in Sheffield when hot says "It's like bleeding hot bob in 'ere" or when cold says "It's like bleeding cold bob in 'ere". If there are any Sheffieldonians on the forum, please do tell me who Bob is (not *bob* - know who he is!)

I was once introduced to a bloke known as a bit of a lad with the ongoing joke that he always had a "fuckbuddy"


Slightly tipsy but with the intention of making pleasant conversation I smiled enthusiastically and said "Soooooo, I hear you've got a new fuckwit in your life".

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
    • This has given me ideas for the ginger wine I love, that no one else likes!
