Funny or deep or whatever. I love:

"He'd eat one potato more than a pig" and "more fat on a racing snake". Both self explanatory Grin

You can't ride two horses with one arse Grin

BolshierAryaStark · 19/08/2016 21:41

Ooooh, forgot this one which I luffs...
You can't polish a turd, you can however roll it in glitter Grin

Keep your powder dry

SaucyJack · 19/08/2016 21:42

More chance of pissing in the Queen's handbag.

TaterTots · 19/08/2016 21:43

Chough - thankfully not! Grin

JaceLancs · 19/08/2016 21:43

My Grans version of fur coat and no knickers was all lace curtains and nothing in the larder
My elderly NDN made me giggle when talking about being asked out by an even more elderly gent from her lunch club "I'd not be interested even if his balls were studded with diamonds"

TaterTots · 19/08/2016 21:44

'No more brains than a frog has feathers'.

YorkieDorkie · 19/08/2016 21:47

Where there's muck, there's brass.

TaterTots · 19/08/2016 21:47

Jace I love your nan's diamond saying! Grin

A classic I heard once to describe a slutty woman - 'She'd give her arse away and shit through her ribs'!

Magicpaintbrush · 19/08/2016 21:51

You've landed with your bum in the butter. (i.e you've found yourself in a very favourable/fortunate situation)

footballwidow12 · 19/08/2016 21:54

SmileSmileSmileSmile love these - I have so many

It's crackin' the flags out there

Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery

Me mouths as dry as ghandis flip flop

About as much use as a wet fart

Couldn't fight your way out of a wet paper bag....

The list is endless - good old Lancashire! Wink

BolshierAryaStark · 19/08/2016 21:57

Another one...
Well that went down as well as a fart in lift

Love couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, tis one I use a fair bit along with fur coat & no knickers which was a favourite of my grandma's

Bumpngrind85 · 19/08/2016 21:59

Flat out like a lizard drinkin

freebreeze · 19/08/2016 22:26

Some Yorkshire classics:

'Get to foot of our stairs!' (i.e. I don't believe you)

'There's trouble at mill'

Also my own personal moto, a Delboy classic, 'She who dares wins'

Blackcurrantvodka · 19/08/2016 22:38

These are great! My favourite are...

'From arsehole to breakfast time' (i.e. A total mess 'The baby's got yoghurt from arsehole to breakfast time')

'I'd bet a pound to a pinch of shit'

3catsandcounting · 19/08/2016 22:42

freebreeze - "there's trouble at mill - cat's pissed on't bobbins"!Grin

LokisUnderpants · 19/08/2016 22:43

Don't run with the dogs if you piss like a puppy.

If wit was shit you'd be in an awful state.

Bless my gran.

freebreeze · 19/08/2016 23:01

3cats - never heard that bobbins ending!! Gonna use now Grin

GameofPhones · 19/08/2016 23:10

'It's neither nowt nor summat' - useful Yorkshire saying, and I just realised it is the same as 'It's something and nothing' in posh.

PhoebeGeebee · 19/08/2016 23:10

"Couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo" - my DH says this about footballers, still no idea what it means

"I'm gonna meet myself coming back" - someone with a lot to do, usually said in the days before Christmas

"You're on a hiding to nothing" - I'm not sure what you're planning to do is possible

"Were the cows on strike?" - there isn't much milk in this cup of tea

gingerboy1912 · 19/08/2016 23:11

You're about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

Thisismyalias · 19/08/2016 23:12

I'd much rather shit in my hands and clap.

PhoebeGeebee · 19/08/2016 23:20

"He'd peel an orange in his pocket if he could" - said about my Scottish Dad who could be quite tight fisted

FairyDogMother11 · 20/08/2016 13:24

My friend's mum (after a particularly daft comment) called my friend "two floors short of a bungalow" Grin

Rollonbedtime7pm · 20/08/2016 16:13

I also forgot, my friend says "they could eat an apple through a letterbox" when describing someone who is 'dentally challenged'!! Grin
