Do You Have A Favourite Saying?
May 21st 2008 22:33
A mate of mine will always bid you farewell with the quaint yet iconic bush saying “I hope next time I see you – you’re bogged” – meaning basically that between now and when we next meet – I hope it rains.
Then there’s (let’s call him John) who is always “as happy as Larry” – whoever Larry ever happened to be, while old Aunty Shirl constantly flaunts political correctness by telling anyone willing to listen that the reason someone’s having a run of bad luck is because they ‘must’ve killed a Chinaman’.
Of course there are less scurrilous sayings which find their way into our vernacular each day such as: “He got deep pockets and short arms” and “he wouldn’t shout if his life depended on it” - for those a little tight fiscally or perhaps even the now familiar “Not Happy Jan” for those times when . . . well we’re less than impressed.
So do you have a favourite saying that your friends and associates know you by and you use willy nilly – oopps – there I go.
Would love to hear them

XXXXX - is like chalk and cheese was a favourite with an aunt of mine.
Didn't matter what it was - something or other was always like chalk and cheese.
MInd you - having tasted a few of her cheese platters - it's sometimes hard to tell the difference.

Here are a few I use:
"Can't Fix Stupid"
"Life's Tough but it's tougher if you're stupid"
Life is short and full of blisters,"
"Money thinks I'm dead"
"If brains were dynamite, he wouldn't have enough to blow his nose."
"Big as life and twice as handsome."
"Nervous as a whore in church"
