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

I'm not originally from the UK and it amuses me when my two-year-old says he wants to "go down the slider". Grin

"Going to see a man about a dog" when going out.

Asking someone in the house "wheres mum?" And they tell you shes ran off with your uncle Blush

And "get to fuck" can be used whenever someone asks a favour.

Not many people would know this as it is very specific to my area... "I've cruckled". Guess where I am.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 18/10/2019 20:41

I didn't think going to see a man about a dog meant going out 🤣
