to say please stop saying this for the love of God

[vandrew4]

"not your circus, not your monkey" please please just stop

Nope

I use it a lot so I cannot promise to etop

Agreed!

What will we say instead? Could you post a list of approved phrases please?

Och don't be a grumpus. Learn to slide your eyes past phrases.

Stop

Ooh a friend of mine says this often on Facebook and I'm not keen.

OP, may I ask why? What is wrong with it?

Phelan just not that. I'm sure it was all very witty the first 28,000 times but is now bugging the tits off me

*monkeys

It would be a pretty shit circus with one little monkey arsing around.

I only learned it last year. I want my monkey's worth.

I don't mind that one. Calling everyone a 'Cheekyfucker' or CF is currently my piss off du jour.

Ooh I do wish people would stop saying 'for the love of God' ...

I like etop. Sounds frenchie, ooh la la etop mes amis, sil vous plait. Heehaw heehaw heehaw. Bof.

I feel your pain..
Is that any better??

Oh God, I've just thought; people may replace it with " mind your own beeswax" !

I don’t use it but I can’t help but really like it

It is a bit odd. It's like people saying it think they were the first people ever to use the expression.

'It has nothing whatsoever to do with you' is better. I have never been to a circus in my life. Do circuses even have monkeys?

There was someone moaning on here about putting your ducks in a row earlier.

I love it. It always provokes images of littleness mischievous monkeys causing havoc in the big top

It would be a pretty shit circus with one little monkey arsing around

Like the zoo with only one dog 😉

In our house we use ‘ not my bull , not my bullshit’ instead .

It originated in Poland apparently. Maybe they have monkeys in their circus.

Ducks And rows
Monkeys and circuses
Horses and bolts
Frogs and feathers
Llamas and dramas

What other animal based phrases can we think of to piss off the sour bakes of MN tonight?

We used to live near a zoo that did have one dog!

Elephants and rooms.
