It infuriates me that DH says Brush and Dustpan. Tell me I'm right and the correct way round is Dustpan and brush

Defo dustpan and brush.

I have a friend who says "it's all good and well" instead of "it's all well and good" - grrrrd!!

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 26/11/2021 11:30

Oh god it’s the sort of thing my exh would do! Brush and dustpan my arse.

Definitely grounds for unreasonable behaviour.

MsThinksAlot · 26/11/2021 11:35

We can't have that!

Grab all grab-ables.
LTB.
Take him to the cleaners for the very verbal abuse.

Like people who say chips and egg when anyone knows its egg and chips

Santaischeckinglists · 26/11/2021 11:36

Remember many men don't know what either is!!.
Dustpan and brush.

2catsandhappy · 26/11/2021 11:38

Dustpan and brush of course!

Youseethethingis · 26/11/2021 12:23

Pepper and salt. Dec and Ant. Chips and fish. Squeak and bubble. Tatties, neeps and haggis.
All wrong wrong wrong, just like brush and dustpan Confused

Doggydreaming · 26/11/2021 12:23

My DH says 'brush and shovel' which is even worse!!!

RumJerrySailorRum · 26/11/2021 12:53

@Starcaller

Haggis, neeps and tatties!
Of course it is.

Brain fart moment there from me.

MsThinksAlot · 26/11/2021 12:56

@ChiefInspectorParker

I say it both ways and have no preference. Am I a weirdo?
Obviously. Wink
Siameasy · 26/11/2021 12:57

I can’t cope!

Vinegar and salt crisps
Onion and cheese
Chips and fish
Can you imagine

RedRobin100 · 26/11/2021 12:59

Def dustpan and brush

Although for some unknown reason I say dustpan and shovel

go figure!

RainforestLizard · 26/11/2021 12:59

@Justmuddlingalong

This makes me smile as there's a reason we say knife and fork. Fork and knife, especially from a toddler, can sound like "fucking knife".

TheSandgroper · 26/11/2021 13:13

You’re both wrong. It’s dustpan and handbroom.
