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".

    • There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/
    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
