I’m bored. So I’ll start a thread. Have any expressions that might be local or unique, funny, regional etc?
Tits up in the ditch
Arse over kettle
Hornier than a two-peckered billy goat
My wife says torlet instead of toilet. South Texas. I don’t think this is actually a thing though. It’s just her.
Dry as a dead dingo’s donger
Born with a golden key in your mouth (it’s the Chinese equivalent of ‘born with a silver spoon in your mouth’; my wife is Chinese)
I love the saying (as useful as a chocolate fire guard.
Like a frog up a pump.
Sharp as a sausage
Thats how Archie Bunker used to say it, too. “Terlet”.
fuck my old boots.
Useless as tits on a bull, my grandfather used to say
Calling something skookum (impressive, roughly speaking) is pretty regional. Western Canada/PNW as far as I know. Can’t think of expressions, though.
My husband always says, “dude can’t help but step on his own dick,” when referring to people who get in their own way
@Jane.c I didn’t make it up. It was used a lot in my UK corporate days (80’s and 90’s), usually referring to a ‘team’ member
Jeezum Crow, a replacement for Jesus Christ, when used as an oath. I’ve only heard it here in Vermont.
Odd as two left shoes.
Ugly enough to scare a bulldog off a meat truck
Dumber than a box of hammers
Colder than my ex-wife’s heart.
Hotter than two ferrets screwing in a wool sock.
It’s a very New England term. We used it as kids in Maine (1960s).
I get the feeling I should spend more time in Maine.
One that I use that usually gets me an odd look is “fill yer boots”.
