[Misc] Silly Sayings

[Knocky's Nose]

"F*ck my old boots..."

Who, upon being very surprised, has immediately rummaged through their shoe cupboard with feverish sexual intent?

 

[el punal]

“I promise I won’t come in your mouth.”

Now I’m not sure whether that’s a silly saying or just the most used lie in the history of mankind.

 

[Two Professors]

'For the many,not the few'

Isn't that phrase of the Whitehouse POTUS affirmation

 

[Garage_Doors]

Can i get,
No you ****ing can't that would a) be stealing b) self service which it isn't.

 

[Jesus Gul]

‘On a scale of nought to one, I’d give ‘er one!’

A bit binary. Surely better to score ‘out of ten’

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

My old nan used to say " What you can't see won't hurt you"
That was before she died of radiation poisoning.

 

[Norman Potting]

"Shooting fish in a barrel". Actually heard this at a work meeting today.

 

[Taybha]

Make sure you have clean underpants on .

Why's that Mum ?

Just in case you get run over on the way to school

 

[smelly]

“He can’t stop scoring! “

Has he tried?? Oh yeah I did but I couldn’t help it going in off my nob([emoji3])

“Stonewall penalty” wtf does that even mean.

“He’s up there with the Lampards Gerrards and Gary Harts” there was only one of them ffs.

“And it’s live!!!” Cringe

“What do you think Jamie?”

Cue to go and make a brew

I'll go to the foot of our stairs

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

"The elephant in the room".

So, what are you saying? There is an elephant in the room but nobody can see it? Elephants are pretty big, is it hiding? When did anyone ever accidentally trip over an elephant? Or look everywhere for their elephant only to find it was on their head the whole time?

No, if you don't see an elephant in the room I'd say there is a good chance that the room is infact void of elephants.

In case nobody has pointed it out yet, this is a perfectly good expression and describes nicely something obvious that everyone can see but is studiously pretending isn't there. For example, lots of tories are backing Boris because he's a 'winner'. The fact he is well documented as a treacherous vainglorious lying adultererer who will tug down the whole edifice on all their heads is, here, the elephant in the room.

"F*ck my old boots..."

No, its a good expression designed to invokes something absurd. A similar one that was used in the late 70s but seems to have died a death, perhaps due to a disconcerting rise in urban bestiality, is 'f*ck a big dog'

As I child I never understood why the older generation of my family would say "It's looking a bit dark over Will's mothers" implying there are dark clouds on the horizon. Assumed it was just them being odd. However just googled it and it would seem it is actually a thing....

Pissed as a newt......do newts like a drink? Do they not wear it well? Do they suffer hangovers......can you be hungover as a newt?

Could of;
Should of;
Would of.

As in, for instance, 'could of done'. What is this 'could' that apparently belongs to 'done'? Just irritating nonsense.

Live on stage - well, whoever it is is hardly likely to be dead.

Tell that to Tommy Cooper.
