How about: And then there's the Simpsonian "DOH!" meaning "I'm stupid!" :) Similarly, in Arabic, the camel drivers shout "Yalla Yalla!" to their camels to get them moving, (along with a flick of the cane). But it's become a general phrase meaning "Let's go!". |

Another Hungarian one: "Paprikash shegg". Translation: "He has cayanne pepper up his butt." It means he's in a touchy, angry mood, where anything can set him off. |

I am sure anyone with lots of pepper in their pants is easy to explode! A broad English naughty play on words thingy: Once a King Always a King But once a Knight Is Enough ... |

A rhyme but makes me think of 1950's TV shows and TV dinners all mixed together.. Unless of course you were on a submarine and there were but two types of package dinners to eat. One was 'tripe' (cows guts) and the other was 'chicken'... You would really be the winner if you got chicken... (So glad I am a vegetabletarian..) |

I clocked a few except this one:
I am rather vexed now being unable to speak like a Lancashire lass :o)~ No don't tell me though... (Oo.. Loved our Boodica.. She kicked everything.. Then went home... Erm.. She was actually rather rubbish.. :o/) |

A few Lancashire phrases to puzzle over... Those have character, alright. I like "Pigs waint't follow an empty bucket." Permission to use? (The saying, not the pig. LOL) |

Hey... "You could eat an apple through a barbed wire fence...." Bloomin took me for ever to work out that 'beard' meant 'barbed'... oOh if I had a whacking stick... I would whack the whole of Lancashire for talking such potty stuff. As for it's meaning... Well it's all too gay so I don't even care :o) hehe... Modulate that then :) |

Are you certain that beard wire fence isn't field fence (the kind with a 6" grid)? In any case, might it mean you have a face like a goat? or is it you have the table manners of a goat? BOINC WIKI |

I'll guess that it means you're snout-faced. Heheheh |

There is a saying here in Germany, "Jede Verallgemeinerung ist falsch. Auch diese." which is translated to: "Each generalization is wrong. This one too." Account frozen... |

More sayings: "Trying to teach your grandmother to suck eggs." "A bit outside my belly whack son." (Probably Northen UK.) Sayings From The Sea (Nautical): "Between the devil and the deep blue sea." "Three sheets to the wind." Of Sad Origin: "Sweet Fanny Adams." (UK) |
