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".

    • I have taken to not using my phone on pavements in London period.. feel very vulnerable around ED anyhow as am alot slower with walking these days. When  you-think about it, surely we can all last until get to cafe, hospital, train station, shop, etc without this overwhelming need to see/check phone! Bus times are usually accurate when you tip up and never long to wait for buses anyhow. I use my phone alot during the day for various reasons but, trying to not use it  is the real test. I have found that you can always ask someone who, generally happy to accommodate. Lanyard that Sue has suggested - good idea but still phone is visible in this heat I would have thought, assuming she wars it round her neck so personally, think it is worse as bikers, gangs etc can just rip it off as they pass.
    • In my experience working with police, esp Roads Policing, they don't drive erratically and dangerously. Most of them will be TPAC trained, or done advanced driving at the very least. Police in car chases live in fear of injuring or killing a member of the public, it genuinely is one of their worst nightmares. So I feel safe assuming that whatever the kid on a bike had done, the pursuit and tactics were justified.  I don't understand "Thank God the cyclist got away before 2 police vans arrived to help". Are you saying you're glad that a wanted, probably dangerous, criminal escaped a co-ordinated, tactical pursuit, involving three police units? That's weird, especially given how much people complain about crime round here. 
    • Yes that's right; An open, lawful and democratic challenge.
    • Well, let's just hope, then, that the cyclist wasn't one of those who are phone snatching, and the driver not someone trying to make a citizen's arrest, otherwise this narrative would be stood on its head.
