Sayings

"You'll feel the back of my hand"

"I'll rattle your legs"

(Can you tell i was a naughty child!)

My insane great granny from Belfast used to say the oddest thing to me when I was very small......

"you've been here before, as hamster the rabbit".

WTF? bad enough in itself, but the thing is she wasn't otherwise gibberingly senile, said it everytime I seen her, and seemed to delight in the look of WTFness on my face LOL

Answers on a postcard to

Baffled of Bangor.

One of my Mum's: "You've got more rabbit than Sainsbury's", which I never got, cos I've never seen a rabbit in Sainsbury's, either on sale or doing it's shopping...

'Don't look at me with THAT tone young lady'......blah blah blah or 'you'll end up in the back of next week'.......

I was a little bit naughty too. Only a bit though. Not as much as you.

My dad to my mum: "Very nice thank you dear" after every meal she cooked. " I heard that....pardon?" (Uncle Stavely like) when she muttered under her breath at him.

and just "Pardon?' every time a cow mooed in the field next to our house

Brother lived near Huddersfield for ten years or so and came back with stuff like "Rock on our mam!" and "Nah then!"......

"Pulling a Trevor" has been used equally by friends and family to describe a slip-up or embarassing mistake

Oh, you too? Great minds, mind you. :D

My name as become so used as a term for making slip ups that they've (friends) considered putting me in a proper dictionary.

Though, it's never good when your family starts adopting the abuse your friends dole out to you.

"I'll take my hand off your face"

I'm trying to think of some nice ones, but i'm struggling.

I feel it's only fair after the previous posts to point out that i was never hit as a child. Perhaps i should have been

Grandad always always used to burp after his dinner and say EVERY SINGLE TIME.....'oops, more tea Vicar?' ???

Or before Dinner Mum would ask him if he would like a Gin & Tonic; he used to say ' ah, think I will, after all it's a shame to leave a lemon lonely'!

I learned to shout at the TV from my Grandad. Still while watchinf F1, everytime that limp tosser James Allen says "Juan Montoya" I cry out "WHO?" Even when I am alone.

(the name is juan-pablo montoya, he can say juan when he talks of mike schumacher)

So many pills I rattle

being the good brooklyn boy that he was, my grandfather harry used to say:

'i'll give you something to cry about.' (similar to wino's)

'blow it out your ass.'

'don't eat dem prunes. dey give you da runs.'

plus, the constant swearing under his breath, of which he was entirely unaware.

One of my favorite sayings is "In Theory", especially when I'm working on or troubleshooting computer problems.

One of Anne Robinson's best: His cheese has slid off his cracker

My Mum used to tell me 'If nobody laughs, it might not be a joke'.

And my Dad's advice was ‘Never be rude to anyone who has the opportunity to spit on your food before you see it’.

"Have a Nice Day" is one that people in Manchester always gave me shit about..

apparently it's a very American thing to say. I think it's polite. As we all know my life's mission is to be polite and respectful.

You should work harder at it.

wow.. a real rocket scientist here

Well, it was the bad old days, so if you pulled up to the drive through and your skin was of the pale persuasion, you got a dollop of 'special sauce' as a free extra...
