What is your favourite expression?

[Nero]

Ann Twacky, which is northern for old-fashioned, and is a bastardisation of 'antique'. Hardly anyone says it nowadays, not even Corrie characters. Nero

[Brendan]

My Mrs does. She reacently used it to describe my taste in furniture.

[Nero]

Gradely! Another Ann Twacky user. Where is she from?

I also like demic, which means broken, unfit for purpose, and florry, for old-fashioned clothes. (As in, 'Them kex are dead florry.')

[Moos]

And while we're on Northern expressions, 'scran' for food is a good one, and 'shining like a shitty back door on a frosty night' is top, albeit a bit puzzling!

[SteveT]

when asked if he liked some revolting footwear by his last wife my father said, " a blind man dressed in black galloping through a black tunnell on a black 'oss at midnight" would say "those were nice shoes"

[Ant]

Eeh, it's a bit dark over Will's mother's = gosh, those rainclouds over there look rather ominous. No idea who Will is or where his mother lives, or where that phrase came from.

Fuckbuckets. Just a general-purpose exclamation.

Cookwank - not mine of course but I love it just the same.

One from the Ant household, if someone's drifting about a bit bored/not sure what to do, the suggested course of action is always to: put you in a bag* and shake you up.

* sometimes a sack. for emphasis perhaps? dunno.

[SteveT]

I've come over all unneccessary

[RosieH]

arsewinking - for something that is so excruciatingly awful it physically makes your rectum clench

Honaloochie, going back a fair few posts, I take your "cuntbollocks" and raise you "cuntybollocks" - for some reason the extra "y" makes me laugh more

[Keef]

One that really made me spit my beer out when I first heard it (a few years back now)...

I was in the pub, and a male friend announced to everyone he was off for a slash. Female friend then piped up with "yeah I need to go and shake the lettuce" :-S

Have heard it several times since, and it still makes me laugh.

Similary Keef, a girlfriend from Lincoln I went out with a while back she'd say "I must go and strain me greens."

[Keef]

Actually, an Aussie friend has a good one for a number 2...

"With in 10 mate, have to go and drop the kids off at the pool first".

[atila the gooner]

My favourite saying, which I say all the time is "Fu*k my old boots" when I'm exasperated or pissed with with someone or something. This particular expression usually fills the house when I'm (having a go at) doing the decorating or any DIY project!!!!!

drop the kids off at the pool

to pinch a loaf

[citizenED]

I like "you're twisting my melon, man"

[eccentric]

First two both from an Aussie.

?Madder than a cut snake?

?A face like a hat full of busted c**ts?

My favorite, ?a face like a bulldog licking piss off a stinging nettle?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Once said by a friend who went on a date with a particularily well endowed Bloke:

"He was a man hanging of a cock"

Also like to utter "I didn't know if I was going for a shite or a haircut" when a few too many Guiness have been consumed.

"I'd sooner nail my foreskin to the Eiffel Tower" if I dont particularily want to do something.
