AIBU to ask for your local sayings?

[Minorityreports]

I just looked down at my almost empty bottle of wine and thinking of the long night ahead said aloud (I live alone - not sure whether that makes it better or worse)... 'WELL THAT'S NOT GOING TO LAST ME PISSING TIME'.
I had it said before I realised it haha.

Love to hear your other little colloquialisms/madness/things yer Ma says that you still say

Problem is with phrases that you hear all the time it's only when an 'outsider' points out its weird that you notice

Back in old internet chatroom days I asked someone 'where you to now?' - and immediately got asked if I was Welsh

The other one is whenever I answer the phone in work about 90% of the callers start with 'what it is see.....'

So tired I could sleep on a clothe's line
Your head will never save your legs and Never go empty handed- for the same thing!!

Oh yeah, I forgot about 'while' as a time thing. I'm not from Derbyshire, but have lived here 20 years. That's one I rarely say, and it always takes me by surprise a bit.

I actually don’t know but I’m in the Midlands so I reckon I probably say loads of weird stuff. But I’m so used to it I don’t think it’s weird!

I love some of the phrases I hear when I go to Ireland.
‘He’ or ‘that bloke’ becomes ‘your man’
‘Deadly’
‘It’s in the press’
‘Bedside locker’

Etc etc

I thought this was fab when I first heard it on MN as someone's handle. There's a similar saying in Texas, "All hat no cattle" (cowboy hat).
