How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Charlottechicken]

For news badly received - 'Went down like a poo in a punch bowl' (sorry )

 

I shouldn't encourage you but that was funny

 

We used to say "crash the rocks" at school in Birmingham, for "share the sweets", and my North Yorkshire grandma used to call me monkeybrand, for being a little monkey!

If in doubt leave it out - good advice and often taken

 

 

We say

If in doubt, do nowt

 

If someone is cross we say they've got a pointy head!

[Tutti Frutti]

We still say the Wayne's World expressions "Exsqueeze me?" for excuse me and "Baking powder?" for beg your pardon.

[The Dogmother]

Remebered another one of ours today.

When we are putting on suncream we say we are getting spammed up. Goodness knows why

 

Rosie calls it getting gucked up - in fact she refers to any lotion or cream as 'guck'. No idea where that one came from She also calls her dressing gown a 'jessing down' from when she was little and used to get it wrong. And a head is a 'yud' which is a local term

[Cinnamon]

We do too,and SCHWING whenever anyone hot is on tv .

 

We quote Bill and Ted too.........I called Cleo a historical babe just an hour ago (she was doing history homework )

[Chucky Mama]

"Foofoo" - for talcum powder

 

YIKES! Means something very different where I live - to give you a clue, it came up in Year 6 Sex Ed this week

 

 

Eek, us too

 

We call Labradors Lavatory Doors, scrobble or scrobbling is our word for slobbing and nuggins is our word for 'naughty' things to eat -'Don't forget to get some nuggins!'

[Goosey Lucy]

nuggins is our word for 'naughty' things to eat -'Don't forget to get some nuggins!'

 

We have goobs instead of nuggins.

 

OH is always sent to buy some goobs when he refills the car on a day trip somewhere.

[Tutti Frutti]

We often shout out SO-CRATES We also shout out "Game Off/Game On" when we're cycling and a car comes and goes.

Whenever anyone does a massive sneeze a guy I work with always comments 'That's a Tena lady moment'

 

Thanks for this one - brought the house down at work this morning (there are a lot of 40+ ladies about)!

 

We have a fair few Blackadder style ones like he's as clever as a clever person who has taken cleverness lessons at clever-town college, or she's as happy as Mr Happy after he won the prize for happiness. They can go on for a while too .

[Snowy]

These have made me laugh!

My OH uses corporation pop for tap water, is that one up or down from council pop?

He has several favourite sayings, not sure whether they are common northern sayings or if he has made them up!

His favourite term of endearment: 'I wouldn't swap you for a gold pig'

A boy who is always hungry: 'he could eat a potato more than a pig'

In response to 'what's up?', replies 'the price of pork'

'Does a donkey like strawberries' in response to 'does he/she like x/y/z'

'I'm full as an egg' to mean had enough to eat.

All said in a broad lancashire accent

[Lizzie50]

Whit's fur ye'll no go by ye! - What's meant to happen will happen

 

Lang may yer lum reek! - May you live long and stay well

 

Dinnae teach yer Granny tae suck eggs! - Don't try to teach someone something they already know.

 

Is the cat deid? - Has the cat died? Means your trousers are a bit short - like a flag flying at half mast

 

Pure dead brilliant - Exceptionally good

 

Ma heid's mince - My head's a bit mixed up

 

Up to high doh: In a state of anxiety

 

Do you think I came up the Clyde in a banana boat - am I stupid?

[Lizzie50]

I forgot these........

 

Peely Wally - used to describe someone pale or ill e.g. he looks really peely wally

 

When I first moved from Scotland to England I used to say 'Im going to get my messages' meaning shopping which caused endless confusion at work!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

All the above are pretty familar to me too .

 

Also, "there's a Jock for every Jean" - meaning no matter how challenged someone is in the good looks department, there'll always be someone similarly challenged somewhere out there for them.

 

We use a lot of Blackadder quotes too

 

Variations on "I thank God I wore my corset, because I think my sides have split" when someone's made a joke they think is funny.

 

"Baldrick: Have you got a plan, my lord? Blackadder: Yes I have, and it's so cunning you can brush your teeth with it."

 

"I have come up with a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel."

[The Dogmother]

Charlie's Dead - your petticoat is showing.

 

No idea where that one came from, and I don't know any ladies theses days (apart from my mother) who wear slips.

 

I picked up some rhyming slang when I used to hang out with biker boys in my teens...

 

Uncle Dick - sick

 

Tommy Tank - Bank

 

The list is endless....

 

Rosie is known as Piggy Square Toes... because she has them

[majorbloodnock]

Intriguingly, the mother of a friend of mine used to use the exclamation "Heavens to Betsy" where others might use "good grief" or some other pithier comment. I know it's now something of an anachronism, but I've no idea where its origins lie.

[Tutti Frutti]

"they have jam on their shoes" - about someone whose trousers are too short (jam... so the shoes can invite the trousers down for tea)

 

'Does a donkey like strawberries' in response to 'does he/she like x/y/z'

 

We have a lavatorial version of that "Does a fat dog (ummm) parp?" (OK, I cleaned it up a bit!)

 

Oh and good old "More tea vicar? No thank you, the last one gave me wind"... (when someone burps). We said that to some Australian kids and they were in fits but they'd never heard it before and actually hadn't a clue what we were talking about

[Valkyrie]

My mum also quotes the blue sky and sailors trousers.

For short trousers "it looks like his trousers have had a row with his ankles"

Heaven's to Betsy I have used before - don't know where I picked it up, but it's been around an awful long time. I think it sounds good with a deep south US accent - y'all.

If you were looking for something my nan would say "it's up in Annie's room behind the clock". We have no Annie in the family - and they had a bungalow.

Dad used to refer to someone doing "the dance of the Sugarbum Fairy".

Just to annoy Murray (on those realllllly odd occasions) whenever he drives over catseyes in the road I will meow.

[Tutti Frutti]

"the dance of the Sugarbum Fairy"

 

:lol:

 

Ages ago, DH had changed the bedding and I hopped into bed but forgot to put my mouth in gear. So my "thank you" came out muddled and I mispronounced "bed" So now, every time we change the bedding, when we go to bed our last words to each other before drifting off to sleep are that very phrase... "Hmmmmmmm nice fresh bread"

 

What a wally!

[Cinnamon]

Do you remember the thread I started a while ago titled WIBBLE?

 

We still say that to each other,preferably with pencils up our noses.......

[The Dogmother]

Ruiby is asleep at my feet and has reminded me of another word - 'Wiffle' - she is wiffling in her sleep

[chickenNutter]

Water is Corporation Pop in our house too.

 

"Not a girl washed and the street full of sailors!" (When looking at your watch and realising it is later than you thought)

 

"Looks like the wreck of the Hesperus" (before tidying up)

"More like the home life of our own dear Queen" (after having tidied up)

 

 

My late father had plenty but one that is now oft repeated by people who were fond of him and which he used (fondly)when you had annoyed him was

"You're a pain and a pest and a pot of poision" and if he was very fed up he would add "...and a pill and a pustule."

 

Another of his when anyone overtook him in a tearing hurry was

"His Mother's won a duck" (ie he must be hurrying home for a roast duck supper)

 

 

 

 

We also use 'black over Bill's mother's.' Always wondered who Bill was!

[bluekarin]

Charlie's Dead - your petticoat is showing.

 

 

Cor, I'd forgotten about that one! Not heard it for years!

[Egluntyne]

We'd say 'it's snowing down south' for a petticoat showing. Do people still wear petticoats?
