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:
-

If push comes to shove ....... just bodge it

"That's as sour as a witches tit"
"It's as dry as gandhi's flip flop"
"Mad as a box of frogs"
And my Personal favourite -

"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:
