Internetowl Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 its not the cough that carries you off its the coffin they carry you off in... and if your aunt had been your uncle, there'd be another pair of b*lls in the family what is the point of these sayings (as they are both obvious) and do any of you have any similar to share...

joeyannie Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 my mum says "well I'll go to the end of the garden" as an experession of surprise! with a variation of "I'll go to the top of the stairs" also was taught from a very young age that all egg shells (particularly from soft boiled eggs with soldiers) should be smashed up into little bits so that the witches cant sail in them (!???) quite obviously barking mad, the lot of them!

fox20thc Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 When I was little and used to ask my mum what was for tea. If she didn't know what she was going to cook she used to say.. "three runs 'round table and a kick at pantry door" I said the same to my kids this week and they looked at me like I had 2 heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_Kitty Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 A run round t'kitchen & a kick at the pantry door we had 'a jump at the cupboard door and a bite at the knob' and 'black o'er Bills mothers' was always a good one... tho my bro kept wanting to meet Bills mother!!! erm... *thinks*...
