"amn't I"

(SO reassuring to find I'm not the only person in the world that uses that phrase - I was beginning to doubt myself after fifteen years' exile in the south).

Snib

A word I love to use purely to wind DH up. He refuses to believe a latch could be called a snib

SirDigbyChickenCaesar · 14/07/2008 19:47

defintiely! DS is doing my head in lately so any outdoor excursions are welcome!

SoMuchToBits · 14/07/2008 19:47

Does anyone else say "Last one to....... (whatever it is ) is a hairy kipper!" ?

It's a great way to hurry people up over things if you haven't tried it, anyway!

ExterminAitch · 14/07/2008 19:48

no, we rely on 'we need to be out of here in two shakes of a dead lamb's tail' for some ghastly reason.

SoMuchToBits · 14/07/2008 19:48

That's interesting Smithagain, as I would use snib anyway, even though I am completely English!

expatinscotland · 14/07/2008 19:48

DH telling the girls, 'No the noo' or 'Wait the noo!'

gscrym · 14/07/2008 19:50

Let me know when SirDigby and we'll do that.

My mum has taught DS to say 'Ah'll just sit here and look up the lum' when he's having a huff.

Smithagain, just keep asking him to drop the snib. It winds my DH up as well.
