Adopted words & phrases....

[woofmarkthedog]

I've been thinking ( yes me, oh joy ) this for a while.

Other peoples words & phrases stand out so much sometimes we find ourselves adopting them or they evoke a particular place & person

For example Keef wrote-

and the soundtrack is brill (on the feel good movie thread)

Brill is a great word, so 80's and so ready for a revival. Well done Keef !

My mum used to say "I should co-co" if you pushed your luck a bit too far, where did that come from ?

W**F

[????]

I think 'co-co' is just a straighrforward malaporism-thingy of 'say so'

[woofmarkthedog]

That might just be it ????, she said it with some venom at times ( the old cow )

Brill....

"Just you wait till yer father gets home."

I heard that a lot as well Jah. The neighbours would often have to put up with the succession of "swish", "thwack" and me howling my head off. I would then hear the dreaded Dettol bath being run.

[KalamityKel]

Quite clearly it never taught you to behave :p

You're back then. Did Admin run you a Dettol bath after a quick swishing and thwacking?

[bigbadwolf]

Yes.

[KalamityKel]

I quite like the smell...

[bigbadwolf]

Strangely kel...I never noticed the smell!

[Jah Lush]

But you remember the sting!

Reminds me of grazed knees as a child. Mum would put Dettol in the bath.

That and TCP, we still use it here.

I do try not to say "See, what did I tell you" when my kids fall/crash/smash bikes/skateboards ect , but boy do I have to try hard.

"That'll learn em"

An Aussie mate uses the phrase Exactly Right a lot, and I definitely picked that up from him.

I know this is OT but I often put half a cap of Dettol in my bath.

Combined with the Tidman's Sea Salt and Wrights coal tar soap you'll find me stooging about the manor smelling like a 1940s Yorkshire millhand.

And right gradely I feel too.

[daizie]

No Daizie, but frankly I wish she'd take a turn at the tap end a bit more often.
