Stupid things you used to say at school

[SushiSheep]

Don't even know why this popped into my head just now, but did anyone else use to say (I'm turning myself inside out just writing this! 😂)
"Marry it/her/him then!" whenever someone said they loved something.

What other cringey things did you use to say at school, or in your youth that makes you think what the......

"It, dit, dog shit. You are not "it"

A long winded version of eeny meeny to decide who was "it" at tig, or whatever.

Looking back in my teenage diaries from 1984/5 if you were embarrassed it was “a big shame” or something like “oh my god it was so shame” also “I’ve never been so shamed” “Tracey was so shamed in physics when she got the answer wrong”
we were ahead of our time, game of thrones copied us I reckon.

At primary school our ibble obble was
Ibble, obble, black bobble, Margaret Thatcher's boobies wobble....

We also had (sung to teenage mutant ninja turtles theme tune)
When Margaret Thatcher attacks, those turtles don't pay their poll tax....

I'm not quite sure why we were such a politicised group of 8 year olds 😁

Obviously we also had a number of variations on the chinny reckon, chinny chin, chin etc. As PP we also had IDTL (if destroyed true love) obvs. Agree with PP it's third the one with the hairy chest, for us it was 4th the golden eagle.

Not a saying but at secondary school whenever someone dropped a plate/cutlery, tray etc everyone in the dining hall had to stop what they were doing and drum on the table whilst saying oooooohhhhhh. I'm so conditioned by this that at the ripe old age of 45 I still feel the need to do this if it happens in a restaurant when I'm out.

Yer mum
get out of town when expressing amazement

"Fnar" god knows what that meant

"Bugs" everyone you didn't like had bugs

"JIMMY" shouted at anyone standing on their own aka Jimmy Nae Pals

"Itchy chin" Including rubs chin thoughtfully action aka you're talking bollocks.

"Nora Barty" insult to anyone with wrinkly tights.

I went to school late 80's / early 90's. Tough times is those days!

Itchy chin
Chinny reck on
Tutankhamun (with accompanying mime of his beard shape!)
Jimmy Hill
If someone was talking rubbish, we called them a 'reckoner'.
Going round the playground linking arms saying 'Join on for British bulldog' or whatever game.
Holding a buttercup under someone's chin to see if the yellow reflected - if it did, it showed they liked butter.
'Awwww, did they get done?' To ask if someone had got into trouble.
And many others already mentioned. 1970s / 80s, north west of England.

"Rare" for something that was uncool.

"Urgh, sir, your tie is so rare".
"Her new haircut looks rare".

1990s Hampshire, not heard it since.

Yes, me too! I always want to cheer when the certification screen comes on at the cinema as well!

When counting down playing hide and seek or similar; "one, two, miss a few, 99, 100".

What you looking at?

Dunno, the label’s fell off.

Instead of the chinny reckon thing, we'd stroke our chins and say "Aye aye, stroke ma beardie"

If somebody said the word bloody and was accused of swearing, they'd say -
"Bloody's in the bible
Bloody's in the book
If ye dinna bloody believe me
Take a bloody look"

Yes! Also 70's South East. Blimey, I'd forgotten all about that one. What on earth did it mean?

We also used to call people a Spiny Norman, (reference to Monty Python maybe) and I know exactly who would be, but I couldn't describe it in any way.

'Same to you and no back answers'.

‘Jinx’ if you said the same thing as someone else simultaneously. Then if you did it again (double jinx) you’d not be able to speak until the other person said your name.

Def ‘chinny reckon’ and Joey’ (oh dear!).

’Saved your life’ when someone fake pushes you in the road.

’Chatterbox’ the folded paper thing which had colours/numbers and then something like ‘you love poo!’

Anyone who was clever was a keener
Someone with long hair and a leather jacket was a jitter

Heavy Metal fans were Greasy Grebs.

If someone stared at you -

"Do you want to take a picture it'll last longer"

Turn your tonsils inside out!

From across the pond....
In primary school, it was all about avoiding the cooties. "Circle, circle, dot, dot now I've got my cootie shot" always done with the appropriate hand motions

In high school

Yo Mama
Talk to hand because this face don't give a damn
LWHOOOser - as in loser but with all the Jim Carrey one could give
Rat bag
Random - meaning good or bad and depending on the day
Don't Diss me, did she just Diss you? Etc
Don't get all up in my grill
Chick's before dicks - was the mantra

And so many more. Actually cringing remembering these

On top of Old Smoky, all covered in cheese
I shot Margaret Thatcher with one big sneeze
I went to her funeral
I went to her grave
Instead of flowers, I left a hand grenade....

That'll serve her right for closing my mines stealing my milk.

There were three in the bed and the little one said
"Roll over! Roll over!" So we all rolled over and one fell out
He hit the floor and his guts fell out
Rule Britannia! Three monkeys on a stick, one fell off and paralysed his...
There were two in the bed...

First the worst second the best third the one who gets undressed (!)
You think you're it.

I still say this at work. 🤦🏻‍♀️
