Curious (Daft) Expressions That People Use.....
« on: May 26, 2018, 08:00:08 pm »
A light-hearted look at some of the expressions that people use..... Can you add to the list?

Here's a few to start off, the first one is something that someone said to me today, which inspired the topic, ha ha.......

- It's very close today (close to what???- it was very hot today!)
- It is what it is! (Very annoying this one - No it isn't - it's what you make it, or do about it)
- If push comes to shove.....(eh?)
- How are you in yourself? ( WTF - this is one my Mother-in Law used to use, if someone wasn't well)
- At the end of the day (Which day?)
- Don't you ever, ever....... (say; do; whatever its was - fighting talk, how many 'ever's' do you need, ha ha?)
- It's quite unique.....(eh, you can't have degrees of uniqueness!)
- Close proximity .....( proximity means close to, or near to.......so close to close..... eh?)
- Daft as a brush (my old granny used this - not sure why a brush is daft though!)

- etc......give it a go.  :slap: :drinking:

"it's close today"  :grin:   My girlfriend said that yesterday in the car  :doh:  I think it's a Suffolk thing?  I replied "What? What's close? You mean it's humid?"  :grin:

More carrot crunching parsnip shoving Suffolk expressions I've heard over the years:

"I don't wonder at it" = I'm not surprised.
"That'll learn ya"  = Serves you right.
"Can you itch my back"  = Can you scratch my back.
"It's blowing a holly today" = It's windy.
"It's that wet rain today" = God knows. Rain is always bloody wet!
"Battered puddings" = Yorkshire puddings.
"Eat your greens" = Eat your cabbage.
"I want to rinse her" = I want to have sex with her.
"Can you borrow me 5 sheets" = Can you lend me £50.
"I'm doing some nose tonight" = I'm snorting cocaine tonight.
"Please can you change the bed sheets" = Please can you change the duvet cover, pillow cases and sheet.
"The Billy Witches are out today" = The Cockchafers are flying around today.
