Why is a badgers arse considered particularly tight?

No a ducks arse is a quif isn’t it.

I thought that a DA hairstyle wise was when it was brushed into the centre at the back - more like a hairy minge than an arse.

I’d fret if my arse - or a duck’s arse - was as hairy as that.

it was always 'tighter than a nuns chuff' in our house lol

Tighter than 2 coats of paint.

Rough as a badgers arse.

Wetter than an otters pocket!

In my part of Yorkshire.

(The otters pocket relates to different things depending on whose company you are in! As does the badgers arse come to think of it)

Tighter than a duck's arse
Rough as a badger's arse

Interestingly the badger autocorrected to barber. I do not know whether barbers are known for their tight arses Grin

Since you are all debating and not to derail the “tight as” convo. Can someone explain to me,”as full as a bulls bum”

I heard this the other day for the 1st time. I’m 44 btw does it mean someone is full of sh%t of Full as in food. I thought the first it made me laugh but my husband thinks the second.

In Liverpool we say 'Tight as a duck's arse.'

Tighter than a gnats chuff.

PrimeroseHillAnnie · 03/06/2020 07:47

Ducks not badgers,

Fallsballs · 03/06/2020 08:29

I’ve heard of a face like a ducks arse, whatever that means.
I wonder is a badgers arse really small ? I’m not going to check btw.
Here we say ‘tight as two coats of paint’.
I say my my mother has a mouth like a cats bottom when she starts being passive aggressive because it looks similar and makes a sucking noise.

Tighter than a gnat's chuff

Face like a slapped arse

The best mixed metaphor ever was this week when friends dh rung a client and asked to pick his nuggets.We think he meant noggin as in pick your brain but my friend was in hysterics picturing the poor man thinking that someone wanted to touch his testicles GrinGrin

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 03/06/2020 09:49

It's just reminded me of my late DH who would say that something was "tighter than Donald'd ringpiece". Makes me smile Grin

This has got me thinking:

Tight as a gnat's chuff is northern usage for me, though chuff can mean vagina, while in the case of the gnat it's the ovipositor. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it, if that's the word I want to use.:o

When it's wintry it's as cold as penguin's chuff, the cloaca.

A personal favourite is one to describe Norfolk: as flat as a witch's tit.

Ghostlyglow · 03/06/2020 11:47

I always thought it was "as rough as"
"Dull as a cat's arse" is one I don't get
