To ask if you ever....

[Whosthebestbabainalltheworld]

.....put the messages in the press?

Which every Irish person knows means putting away your grocery shopping.

Anyone volunteer the phrases that only local yokels would understand?

Charlie’s dead...
It means “your slip is showing”
It’s raining in Paris...
It means “your flies are undone”
Both cockney, not rhyming, but definitely slang (secret language)

I'm not Irish and I knew exactly what you meant.

Charlie's dead ---- haven't used that in years! Haven't worn a slip in years either... or seen one for sale. Do they still exist?

Aye right! Only double positive in the English language.

"It's getting dark over Bill's mother's " means it's gong to rain soon.

@cortex10 that just brought back wonderful memories of my lovely old nan - she used to say that, or alternatively she'd say, ooo it's as black as Newgates Knocker out there (think that referred to Newgate Prison?)

Give us a Wally with me chips = May I have a pickled gherkin with my chips pls

"It's a bit black over Bill's mother's"-
There's a few rain clouds over there

“You’ve cheese on your chin” for flies are open

Flying half mast - flies are undone

Messages is common on the west coast of Scotland too!

"Is your cat deid?" ( your trousers are too short)

We had "selling beer without a licence" for flies undone!
