Funny saying's

Post by AGENT_CLARET » Sat May 18, 2024 11:02 am

DL Claret just posted this in another thread "Much preferred Burnden even if it was rougher than Tarzan's feet"

Never heard this before and it made me laugh out loud, and it got me thinking what funny saying's have you heard and use.

The two I like are colder than a tramps toe's and wetter than an otters pocket.

Continuing with the weather theme on a freezing winter day, as cold as charity.

Following on from the OP, it was always ‘as rough as a badgers arse.

But are tarzan's feet even 'as rough as boots'? I can't believe that they're 'as rough as a badger's arse'; nor will a tramp's toes be anywhere near 'as cold as a witches tit'. I'm not going to mention my alternative to the otter's pocket... that'd likely get my post pulled.

Many years ago I used that one whilst watching an England match. It must have struck a chord with my Mrs as she ever after referred to the player as 'Banjo'... What's Banjo Lampard up to nowadays?

One I’ve only ever heard in Burnley.
“See you later, masturbator”
Response being:
“In a while, paedophile”

Phrases that have always stuck with me from working with older gents years ago :
“He’s got eyes like a shithouse rat “
“Stuck like sh*t to a blanket”
Both faeces related ones 🤔😂

Always liked George Galloways when talking of say - Labour and Tories, 'Two cheeks on the same arse.'

Dad used to say one you don't hear much nowadays, someone was 'Thick as a workhouse butty'.

On someone who had been put in their place, 'Face like a slapped arse.'
