My Gran - I might have been born at night but it wasn't last night

Tight as a duck’s arse.

So tight he could peel an orange in his pocket.

He could eat an apple through a tennis racket.

Sweating like a pregnant nun.

One eye’s off to the shops and the other’s coming home with the change.

White as a ginger bird’s arse (I’m allowed to use this, as a ginger bird).

Big enough to fill a pram (when questioned about erm, willy size).

More than a handful’s a waste (small boobs).

'Shakin like a shittin dog' ..in my head it's always said in Peter Kay's accent,so assuming I heard from him first.

He's got a degree in bollocksology (for someone talking out their arse)

Put t' wood in th' ole (shut the door)

Well I'll go t' foot of our stairs! (I'd never have believed that)

Were you made in Pilks? (similar to above, if you're not made of Pilkington's glass get out of the way of the telly!)

‘S/he’s a one-way trip to the funny farm waiting to happen.’

‘She’d give her arse away and shit through her ribs’ - used to describe someone of easy virtue.

‘Tits for the telly; face for the radio’ - good body but paper bag-worthy face.

‘Fine words butter no parsnips.’

‘Thought followed a muck cart because it thought it was the carnival’.

‘I could eat the hind legs off a scabby donkey.’

‘Is there a war on?’ - used by me when my mother doesn’t put enough milk in my tea 😁

I’ve also heard of a thick but well-hung man being nicknamed ‘Bungalow’ - as in nothing upstairs but more than average downstairs...
