teddie Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi, not been on this forum long but loving it. One of my dads favourite sayings was "its a bit black over Bills mothers". I remember that one. It was when it looked like it was going to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinder Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 We were dead common, if you were dead you'd kicked the bucket.... What bucket ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 We were dead common, if you were dead you'd kicked the bucket.... What bucket ?Good question!. If anyone died my dad always said they had "pegged out" or "popped their clogs". I suppose if someone died he wouldn't need his clogs, so they would be taken to the "pop shop" i.e. pawn shop, but as for pegging out I haven't a clue as to how it came about..

Texas Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 You don't hear of anybody 'livin' o'ert brush' nowadays. For anyone who hasn't heard it before it means to live with someone out of wedlock. Ways back, if a couple wanted to live together and didn't want to get married properly, or couldn't for some reason, they just jumped over a yardbroom. Brenda Lee did a song, something like 'C'mon Baby, let's jump the broomstick'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
