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".

    • Thanks jazzer, jazzer,  Jazzer 😀 I don't know either of those pubs, believe it or not, so I will google the Heaton Arms, thank you (and thanks for the tip about the easiest way!) ETA: Well, I googled it and apparently it was demolished in 2005 🤣 but I guess it was somewhere near Heaton Road. ETA again: It looks like I can get a 63 or 363 from the stop near the end of Barry Road, so assuming that's open that would be easier.
    • Niko hardly needs another recommendation but we use him regularly. He's good value, he turns up when he says - or tells you if he can't - and definitely knows what he is doing. 
    • Ian the guy who used to own the garage left last year. The place is run by someone else now. Ian was our reliable mechanic for many years, a sad loss. We now use Turners on Barry Road.   
    • Agreed that Niko is really good: he was helpful and explained everything in detail, and did a good job fixing the problem I had. He was also honest rather than trying to drum up a bigger (more expensive) job for himself by telling me everything needed replacing etc. He charged a very reasonable rate. Will definitely call him when I need a plumber again and would recommend!
