LarryUK Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Right. Let's clear the language barrier up. Ie, ''it's gone dark over Bill's mums'. Meaning, It looks like it's going to rain. Clouds in the distance. Let't have some weird sayings from both sides of the pond. Does the USA have their kids say 'it's bad' meaning 'good'?

ShredAstaire Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I like when i hear british people say "I was right chuffed!" I thought it meant they were pissed off, but turns out chuffed means happy/pleased...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy R Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 "Bob's your Uncle" What the hell does that mean? My favorite sayings are: " I hate to be the turd in the punch bowl" - Meaning I hate to ruin your little happy party. " I guess I can polish that Turd" - Meaning making something bad the best it can be. " Are you smelling what I'm Stepping in?" Meaning are you following me ( understanding me? ) If you are your following so close you could smell if I stepped in something stinky! " Well Poop!" - Meaning - Obvious ... I'm almost 42 and the word poop still makes me laugh! Hmmm I see a theme here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The rather obscure (not to say syntactically challenged) "I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking" always gets me. Meaning "I wasn't born yesterday", of course. On the other hand, to say to someone "You're not as green as you're cabbage looking" is a bit of a backhanded compliment as it means "You're not quite as stupid as you look!"... P.

davidl Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 How about: Keep yer pecker up. Meaning: don't give up (I think). About as hard as bottling a fart in a windstorm. Something difficult. Couldn't organize a pissup in a brewery. Not too bright. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRedFoot Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 "Cold as a witch's tit" means very cold. Even the word "t!ts" has become a word mean very good. It's my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinner 13 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 "wouldn't know if his a$$ was bored, punched, reamed, or gnawed out by mice." = Not Too Bright "right round, and around like a fart in a mitten" = Spastic "Sweating like a Whore in church" = it's hot out.
