Strange Sayings

Good one Rodm,

I once knew a girl nicknamed Spanner and I’ve just realised why they called her that. Talk about naiive.

How about “fair suck of the sav” or in one case “fair suck of the sauce bottle” – I guess this is where you’ve crossed the line from hard bargaining to unreasonable.

In the spirit of “sleeps like a baby”, how about

“getting on like a house on fire”. Does that mean lots of screaming and running around?[blush2]

Hi,
I’m Scottish so we’ve got loads of stupid sayings including; (just imagine it’s Billy Connelly speaking)
‘I’ll take my hand off your face’ – that’s usually a parent threatening you
‘I’ll make you laugh on the other side of your face’
‘Oh to tattie water’ -means oh my goodness
‘pissed as a newt’
‘that must be jellie cause jam don’t wobble like that’ – referring to a fat person.
I could go on and on.

Heard two that cracked me up when I was working on the rigs in outback Qld…hello to all the Roma and Quilpie boys out there – not sure any would be reading this forum;

1. Refering to an average looking woman

“She’s been beaten around the head and shoulders with the ugly stick”.

2. Refering to an exceptional good looking woman

“I’d swim through a river of sh** just to smell the scabby jocks of the last guy that “bleeped” her.”

Pretty basic humour…but then out there, pretty much everything is.

Cheers,

Landt,

In too many places too far removed from decent civilised society, surrounded by too many ‘Rig pigs’ with no moderating / calming effect from women.

To tell you the truth, the worst are probably the Scottish lads I’ve bumped into over the years from the North Sea…boy have they got some funny sayings…not that you can understand what the hell they are saying mind you.

What animal’s name does a Scottish man yell when he has locked himself in the toilet ??

Our very own ‘kangaroo’…translated into “I can’t get out”..

Cheers,
