It's all shits and giggles till somebody giggles and shits!

Itsmybirthday19 · 19/10/2020 01:19

Like shit in a field (when someone is everywhere. Example: Joel Dommett)

That went down like Paul Gadd at Mothercare (of a disgusting drink)

Danger Zoom (video conference with no bottoms on)

So disappointing George Ezra/Ed Sheeran/Lewis Capaldi wrote a song about it (also works with tedious/depressing/agonising etc)

Just appending anything vaguely provocative with "as it were"/"that's what she said"/"ooh er"

Hung like a Grand National winner
Who pissed on your chips?
It's a pissabolity
Never trust a fart
Needs must when the devil vomits in your kettle (stolen from Blackadder)
Gordon Bennett

That went down like a turd in a swimming pool

“did ye, aye? " 😏

This is why we can’t have nice things
So it is (I had a Northern Irish boyfriend who said that a lot)
Mad as a spoon
If that’s X, then I’m Y
Bonkers conkers (my mum says that)
Not for me, Clive
Bring it on

My gran used to say ‘what’s that got to do with the price of fish?’

Marshmallow91 · 19/10/2020 03:32

Weird as a bottle of chips

Tilting at windmills.
What does it mean ? Confused
youdialwetile · 19/10/2020 04:48

All talk and no trousers.

(Quite appropriate with all the Zoom meetings these days.)

LunaNorth · 19/10/2020 05:06

Mad as a fish in a bush.

Anyone who takes two sniffs of that is a greedy sod (if someone farts).

A face like a bulldog licking piss off a thistle.

Did you now? (A bit like, ‘did you, aye?’ up thread).

Chuck it in the fuck it bucket.

You look like you’ve seen your arse.

BrightlightsSmallvillage · 19/10/2020 05:40

Where I grew up "now then" was the standard greeting & literally covered every emotional situation. still love it.

In reference to Laurence fox the tweet "looks like a freshly wanked cock" made me snort tea & gratifyingly had same effect on DH.

@ventanaperrito

It means to fight imaginary enemies and can be cutting and whimsical in equal measure.

If you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run.

Never fails to get me up off my arse!

A dick move

Couple of Australian ones.
She'll be apples - it'll be fine.
I'm not here to fuck flies - I'm not here to mess around. Let's get on with it.

I also use flat chat a lot which means being really busy.

@Ihatesandwiches

Opinions are like bum holes. Every one has them. Never used it, but love it!
Yep - or even...

Opinions are like bumholes; everyone has one and no one thanks you for showing them yours, unless they've asked to see it.

Mad as a box of frogs
Numpty

MrsJackRackham · 19/10/2020 12:01

I was like a tramp eating chips (very hungry)
Up and down like a pair of whore's knickers (mostly internet related)
Slower than a week in the jail (again mostly internet)
I wouldn't show her where a bird's nest is (someone who can't keep a secret)
Smells worse than a wet tramp on a hot day.

Apologies to mine being heavy on tramps.

mamaonamission · 19/10/2020 12:02

"Perfectly splendid"

Fatarseflanagan09 · 19/10/2020 12:02

Work wonders and shit cucumbers, said by my mother when she had a lot of work to do.
Thick as shit in a bucket, when someone is a bit slow on the uptake.
They must think folk are people if a shop is a bit on the expensive side.
She looked at me as if I'd shit in her handbag, if someone was a bit snotty.
This'll not get the bairn a new bonnet if someone has work to do but is sitting down when they should be busy.

"couldn't stop a pig in a ginnel" - my wonderful nana talking about my brother's bandy legs 😂
