What daft sayings can you think of?

[Fiddlesticks1]

What daft sayings have you heard of?
My elderly neighbour: tight as a crab’s arse
My grandmother: do you think too daft to see over the top of a frying pan.

If we ever moaned about our dinner my DF would say "If we had some eggs we could have ham and eggs, if we had some ham."

Gnatscockly - a corruption of “gnat’s cock” as a unit of length to mean a very small space, but also sometimes time.
“Those school shoes are a bit gnatscockly”. “Have you seen the itinerary? Gnatscockly change at Birmingham New Street”.

My lovely uncle used to look children in the eye and say very kindly “Make the noise quietly”. And they always did!

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads I love this!!!

😂😂

My Gran used to say 'the things you see when you haven't got your gun'

My mum used to say my dad was....."tighter than a ducks arse and that's waterproof" 🤣🤣🤣

A blind man would be glad to see it. Often followed by recollections of my dgm who was a fantastic seamstress and also self deprecating so she’d make or fix something, point out a flaw and then say, “a blind man…”
My favourite and oft used is Trunky want a bun?

Going to shamelessly steal this 😂😂

I love that, I might adopt that one.

Brilliant 🤣

My late mum - "She looks like piffy on a rock bun"

Smart as a carrot. Love it!

Oh .... mine said that too! I thought she was unique. It was usually said if she thought my skirt was particularly short!!!😀

Right as a trivet ... used to describe something or someone who is fine. My AC fall about when I say this.

Hunger knows no sauce.

😂I wonder if it came from WW1 or Boer war if our grans are broadly about the same generation?

Yes .... likely to be a war thing I guess.

My great aunt
“she looks like she’s been dug up” 🤣

Hah my mum used to say that!

If wishes were horses beggars would ride. I didn't understand it until I was an adult and never thought to ask!

I say that all the time.

We do too!

My grandmother used to say 'Good God 'O me!' as an expression of surprise. I have never heard anybody else say this, ever!

When describing someone 'in the closet';

'Well if he's not gay he definitely 'elps 'em out when they're busy!'

A blind man would be pleased to see it, is a family favourite.
