Forgotten/rare phrases

Daring to Zlatan
I know a couple of people from my parents generation (from entirely different parts of the country) who used the expression "Shit in your hat and punch it". I am making a conscious effort to make this my exclamation of choice.

Reminds me, my Dad had a phrase if you said you wanted something "Well, want in one hand, shit in the other and see which one fills up first".

Back when i was at school the top insult was mo, as in he's a mo, you mo etc. Not sure where that came from. Also we used Jimmy Hill and chinny rub for when accussing someone of talking bollocks. The most un pc insult was to take you arm out of your jumper, touch your shoulder and put the sleeve back on so your elbow poked out of the end, stick your tongue under your bottom lip and while waving your elbow stub at the person to be insulted and yell "Joey, Joey" in the best "retard" voice you could manage. Christ we were horrible little bastards.

Lol i can remember doing that (hangs head in shame) wonder if the teachers today would let kids get away with it?
