Funny expressions we use......
« on: November 01, 2006, 04:19:49 pm »
Just reading thru the threads today, and I came across some funny expressions that people use to describe things, or how they feel.....so I thought it would be fun to start this thread to find out some others.....

Heres the ones I saw today......

From David in Messages from the Heartland.......I'm so angry, I could fart nails

From Saucy cobbler in Irreverent Photos.....colder than a witche's tit

Will have to think of a few that I use, and add them later.....

One of my all time favorites: "He's good with his hands but numb as a hake."

And my list of dumb descriptors:

a few sandwiches short of a picnic
one beer short of a six pack
not the sharpest tool in the shed
not the sharpest knife in the drawer

"queer the soup"

"Sweet Spot" (as a proper noun)

Now who would have written those dumb things...?

Oh yeah: it was ME that said "colder than a witch's tit," saucycobbler just asked me where I got it from in the picturtecaps thread...a softcore funny book by Thorne Smith, called "Topper."

Kudos goes to twistedude for that one. Can't claim it for my own!

Some favourites...

You're like a nun's knickers... (i.e. always on)

You've got more front than Brighton... (insert own seaside town)

...or more neck than a giraffe...

Ok...heres my chance to put a few Aussie ones in here......(with explanations)


You've got a bee's dick of a chance of winning the lottery......
(means you have the smallest chance possible)

Couldnt give away cheese at a rats picnic
utterly hopeless

Could sell sand to an Arab
Could sell ice to eskimos
a good salesman

I can't compete with Aussies...but I do have a few ewe-nique sayings including when I tell my children to do something in "two shakes of a lamb's tail" (fast). And an inexperienced lover can be described as someone who looks like they're trying to "kill snakes."
