...to think that this expresson is dying out?

Day-O (Banana Boat Song) was a Jamaican work song, sung by dock workers loading bananas at night and waiting for daylight so their work could be counted and paid for. Made famous by Harry Belafonte over 50 years ago.

😄Perhaps because it's rare to wear a lacy petticoat/slip these days?

Ooh yes, my mum used to say that! Also 'having kittens' to mean panicking, 'spitting feathers' to mean thirsty, and she would also call me a 'daft a'aporth' (which I always thought was a type of ape for many years until I realised it was short for halfpennyworth!) Near Manchester.

Taking the mic (as it should be spelt) comes from medical students. Medical word for passing urine is micturition and therefore it did indeed mean taking the p**s. That is what I always was told anyway.

All the time from my County Durham granny

‘It’s six o’clock and not a child in the house washed!’ when there’s still loads to do. Makes my youngest laugh.

"Do you think I came up the Clyde on a banana boat?"

Do you think I came up the Thames on a bike?

Also, "I'll swing for you". I always thought this meant swing a punch, but it actually means swing from the gallows 🤯

@MaturingCheeseball we also used to say, "Alright, keep your wig on!" sometimes! I don't imagine he'd have been impressed by that either! 😅

We say ‘were you born in a field?’ It was one of my mum’s favourites. Or ‘were you born in a field with the gate open?’

Just remembered blootered for drunk. Also stocious, but haven’t heard it in years.

"This won't get the baby a new bonnet", I mutter that to myself to try and make myself get on with stuff at home. Never heard anyone else say it that I can recall so I don't know where I got it from.

I’ve never used these phrases but I’m Scottish.

we have equivalents

Not heard that for years!

'If i dont see you through t'week, I'll see ya thru t'window'
My lovely Manc Grandma was full of sayings that I still dont quite fathom.
She has now 'cocked her toes up' unfortunately.

I use masses, as my parents were big on expressions. Dh, same age as I am, knows none! Ds actually asked if I could make a record of them all, particularly “hair as straight as a yard of pump water”.

I had an awkward exchange in a building laundrette a few years ago; I removed some dry washing from a tumble dryer cos the person had left it there for ages. Then he appeared and started getting cross, so I said, “Keep your hair on!” He went berserk, shouting that I was mocking his hair loss! He clearly was unfamiliar with the expression…

I don't think any of those are dying out, particularly! I still use, and hear, all of those. I'm surprised your daughter hasn't heard of any of them, perhaps she's just not mixing with people who use them! I always thought swinging the lead was used by somebody who was pretending to be ill -but then, perhaps they were doing that to skive off or not do a job in the first place!
I use 'yikes' all the time!
I'll tell you a phrase that does seem to have died off 'I'll have your guts for garters'! I used to be terrified when my nan said that - she was only ever joking, but the image it put in my head was horrible! :)

I use all of the expressions in the OP, to a greater or lesser degree. We like an expression or two in NI. DP’s mum has loads of them. Sometimes stringing them together seems to be her entire repertoire of conversation😆

‘Do you think I came up the Lagan in a bubble?’ is a favourite here.

I found myself telling someone to take a long walk off a short pier a while back. No idea where it suddenly came from as I hadn’t heard it in years!

Looks like you’ve been through a hedge backwards.
Looking like the wreck of the Hesperus.

I must’ve been a scruffy child!!

Bonking

Flippin’ ‘eck

Blithering idiot

Brass monkeys

Half cut

'Were you born in a barn?' When you hadn't shut the door.

'Put the wood in the hole' When being told to shut the door.

”IFITS” was the response when asking what was for tea/dinner, as in “if it’s there you can eat it and if it’s not you can’t.’
Used to drive me crazy when my parents used to say it but I now say it to mine 😂

Same, re Marie-Celeste and Blackpool illuminations, and conversely if it's dark I say "It's like the black hole of Calcutta in here!" mainly because a teacher of mine used to say it...never really occurred to me to wonder what it actually was 😁

I also say "This is buttering no parsnips" to mean "This is getting nothing done/making no progress". No-one EVER knows what that means and I honestly don't know where I got it from - maybe 1950s Mancunian family?

I always liked this expression - a woman I worked with from the North of England always used it and it amused me:

'She knows how many beans make five.'

A Spanish woman I worked with would also be:

'Starving like Marvin.'

Who's Marvin?

Chinny reckon

Anyone mentioned Piffy yet?

Oh, we used "Snow's falling down south" for the same thing - funnily enough, in the south of England!

Yes, and wife is 'trouble and strife'.
