Title: Peculiar expressions
Post by: Yorkie on July 06, 2013, 04:13:51 pm
This afternoon I was listening to the afternoon play on Radio 4 and one of the cast had the following line,

" what he did has opened a can of worms, although he does have his fingers in lots of pies overseas "

How on Earth can  Foreigner understand that garbage?

Any more expressions out there?   ;D

This could relate to a lady of relaxed morals etc.

She's no better than she should be.  ?{}?

'There's nowt so queer as folk" I often think of that one when I see Fester.

Ha ha... obviously because of the Yorkshire connotations in the phrase Dave?  :laugh:

There are many, many odd phrases.
My Mum often said to me,  'stop crying or I'll give you something to cry for''
I never understood that, because I was ALREADY CRYING, could she not see that???  !!!

You're not making much progress then mate, although you might find the ribs more to your taste?  :laugh:

Snug as a bug in a rug.

Perhaps it's time to call pest control?

Behave or ill ' Tan your Hide'  ouch! leathery skin. We lived with a river at the bottom of the garden that my dad had fenced off. I use to climb and could hear Mum shout Dont come crying to me when you have fallen in ( well seeing as it was a 30ft drop near a rocky wier i actually dont think she would have seen me again) never mind cry.  :'(

Recently used was "b****r off",  now I am sure that the person did not mean for those to whom it was referred, to engage in sodomy and unnatural sexual activity with other humans or animals!

Noun
vulgar. A contemptible or pitied person, typically a man.
Verb
vulgar. Penetrate the a**s of (someone) during sexual intercourse; sodomize.
 
Just as bad as using "b*****d" I suppose!
 ;)
Touche!  :D

Somewhere ( I think) I could have a phrase book which has a section on how to be insulting in various languages. :twoface: _))*

I think the word is "factual" rather than naughty!  There could also be a peculiar connotation with a bottom being smacked!   Nod, nod, wink, wink!   Know what I mean?   :D
