But they're not really sayings, just terms in common use, otherwise we'll be listing "shift yer 'arris" or brassic or "you're wanted on the eau de" or any number of other words I have to say loudly before the oiks here catch on.

She still gets enraged at the locals for failing to understand the colloquial idioms she worked so hard to master. It would of course have been the same had we the misfortune to move to Manchester rather than Toronto but there's no telling her that now.

A tile short of a fireplace.
Happy as a pig in shit. Thick as champ. You'd get more craic at a wake. Couldn't organise a sh@g at a whorehouse. It's better than a poke in the eye. One of my favourites (although sadly accurate :huh:).....I look like I fell out of the ugly tree & hit all the branches on the way down. Might do some work today....;) |
