Walla always gets me but my absolute favourite was ‘Belgian whistles’ rather than ‘bells and whistles’

DH and I are watching Rip Off Britain right now (recorded earlier today,) and one particular holiday company has confusing information in the terms and conditions.

DH turned around to me and said 'hmm they do like to boozbamble people.'

Straight face. Never even realised he had said it! 😆

There was one on another thread recently - probably an autocorrect - a reference to something being “off the beat and track”. It almost makes sense if you think of a police officer’s beat…

I made a note of three which have tickled me lately;

"Smiling like a treasure cat"
"Bone of contentment"
"Trimming my pivot hedge"

“It has don don me” is one I saw recently in a comment section of an Instagram post.

It took me a little while to work out the poster meant “it has dawned on me”
