Favourite expressions

[The Internet]

My Grandma on Mum's side of the family says Jesus Murphy when she is angry, she thinks by saying Murphy it lets her off the hook lol Btw, Murphy is an Irish surname and Grandpa is from Belfast. I just find that hilarious 😀

That's hilarious!!

My friends and I used to say well shit the bed Fred!

A favorite of mine is well hells bells.

I knew a guy who's favorite was oh holy hell.

Yeah! Holy hell or holy shit. There's that word again 😀

"Why not, let's do it....just for shits and giggles...."

That's always a good one. Hard to keep a straight face on that one.

Also, my Grandpa would say, when someone like..Loni Anderson would come onscreen.... "Holy Christmas, she's built like a brick shithouse!" 😀

PS: Best use of the word "batshit crazy", lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtjCw8zKYbQ

Built like a brick shithouse and with every brick in the right place 🙂

Shit on a stick!

I use this! 🙂 Not in public, I should say. More just under my breath... Like if I'm tired lol. There's a family-based sitcom in Britain called Friday Night Dinner; one thing the father says a lot (when he's annoyed about something) is "Shit on it!" So I use that now. That's more for when I play a bad snooker shot or something. lol

An old Southern expression for when things are going well is I'm shittin' in tall cotton now. Supposedly this comes from the old days when people worked the fields all day. If there was no outhouse you relieved yourself in the field and if the cotton plants were tall enough you had some privacy. That's what someone told me. No idea if it's true or not.

Stick with me baby and I'll have you farting through silk in no time. My guess is that it means we'll be successful and have a great life together 😀

I don't give a flying f**k. Self explanatory I think.

He's slower than a herd of turtles.

I've heard the first one many times and have said it quite often myself 😀

It is what it is.

F**k a duck.

Taking the Mick, taking the piss = mocking, teasing

Taking the Mick, taking the piss = mocking, teasing

Ah, I always loved "taking the piss!" One of my favorite UK slang terms... XD (Though I'm sure other countries use it too; I just know they use it in the UK and not here in the US. X3)

Off-Topic Tangent: I actually remember watching an English guy on Youtube who made a video on speaking English in a bunch of different accents. I remember thinking his general American accent was pretty good, but then he said the words "take the piss" in that accent, and it was like, "Ooooooh, so close..." XD

Years ago in Kansas City there was a guy on the radio who's favorite saying was "Well that stinks out loud". I liked it and still use it sometimes.

One I got from the Animaniacs that I still use in the workplace, often in reference to a customer or management: "Dumber than advertised."

I've met some pricks in my time but you sir are a fucking cactus.

Two favorites of mine, used when answering a question, that both mean something along the lines of obviously yes:

Does a bear shit in the woods?

and

Is the Pope Catholic?

Two favorites of mine, used when answering a question, that both mean something along the lines of obviously yes:

and

Is the Pope Catholic?

And then there are those who like to combine the two: "Does the Pope shit in the woods?". Mildly amusing! 😀

I was talking to my dad a few weeks ago and he described someone as being "as quiet as an ord shoe" lol! (ord meaning "old", I should say). He was surprised when I told him I hadn't heard it before. Made me chuckle, though.

 

[porcelaindoll2]

Slower than molasses in January
Jesus Christ on a cracker(Sometimes I add that I wish had so I could sell it on Ebay.)
Good grief
It's not my speed
