Lady Star Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 My Grandad used to say....I don't know if I am on this earth or fullers, he would say it when shocked or very surprised about something. I guess he was weird really, but I still loved him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuller's_earth ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downsunder Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 He had a face like a sucked-in sandshoe - Australian or British??? Grandad's sayings: She's seen a frost or two (If she had an old wrinkly face) Better to f**t and stink a little Than bust yer ass and be a cripple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyLover Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 It says "OXO" on the side of the buses, but they don't sell it! Get up that "wooden hill"=(meaning get off to bed) It's on the dog shelf (floor) and my favourite which my father-in-law quoted to my little boy once (in a joke of course!)....................... "Go and paddle until your cap floats!":hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Just how many uses has this compound got? Does it whiten teeth too? It's also used by the military in their NBC kits (Nuclear, Biological & Chemical) to mop up nasty liquid chemicals. I would say at least 1,001... it's a bit like Lily The Pink's "Medicinal Compound":- It's most efficacious in every way! (I love Mike McGear's elvis impersonation from 1.51) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetty Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 When I asked my mum was for tea she would always say Cows C**k and onions!!! Yuk!! My husband used to say when asked what he wanted for tea, would say bacon eggs and sprouts!! If I could see quite clearly what my father was doing, and I (stupidly) asked, he always told me he was riding a bike!!!! They are still family sayings today.

TrashyBook Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 My nan used "sat round like tins of milk," to mean waiting for something. I recently used "paggering" to mean getting tired, and got a bewildered look from my other half. But my favourite is one of my mum's when she's not keen on something - "I'd rather be tied to a cow's tail and s**t to death!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astraeus Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 "Do it yerself Miss Roper" is an oft-used expression from my mother when she opts out of asking someone to do something on the (often correct) assumption that they won't anyway. I believe Miss Roper was a school teacher of hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
