1. You should always feel a little hungry still, after you've ate.

 

Bollocks!

 

I've just had a light dinner of one sandwich and I'm more hungry now than before, so hungry that I'm thinking about crap, 'empty calorie' food like biscuits, chocolate and crisps - stuff I rarely eat.

 

What other shite advice or 'wisdoms' do people share with you?

Today I said "first up best dressed" in reference to something in work.

My boss just shook his head and said "nob".

 

Bit harsh that, I thought.

Harsh but fair, what does that actually mean? Get in there first? Take fecking ages to do something? Don't look like a tramp? It's meaningless if you ask me

"same difference"

 

that really pisses me off. Its usually said when you correct some one and they aren't intelligent enough to come back with anything.

First up, best dressed refers back to times when there weren't wenough decent clothes in a particular household.

 

Therefore, those who got up fist got the choice.

 

It makes perfect sense to me, but I'm just a working class lad originally from a rough Farnworth council estate.

Take care.

 

Thanks, I was intending being particularly uncareful today but that's swung it back round.

By using this as a rule of thumb, can we also deduce that any woman with less than dazzling white net curtains, or one that doesn't 'donkey stone' her front step (or worse neglects both step and curtains) is a slut?

 

I quite like the saying ('first up...'), but don't see how it would work in practice - for example I grew up with only sisters, and I'm only a transvestite at weekends, very rarely...well once or twice but I was pissed. definately not a transvestite.

"What you looking at?"

 

 

I don't know... but I'm hoping it's not a mirror

"are your ears burning?"

 

 

errr clearly not...

It was in reference to a discussion about a factory. They reopen tomorrow after CNY and I want some samples made, so rang the sample machinist today to get first bagsy and so my samples out first.

It's a bollocks saying but sort of fitted in at the time. I could've said "down there for dancing" but that's equally as shit.

Actually, I'm boring myself now.

So it's another 'early bird catches the worm' - but one that betrays your impoverished background (see Traf's definition above - don't blame me).

It is but it isn't .That always gets my back up.

It is what it is.

 

really? no shit.

I suspect Traf & myself had very different childhoods but neither dragged up.

I thought the saying was a general knowledge so shame on your parents for not bringing you up to say these bollocks statements. Had they done this, you too could embrace, bollocks statements and throw them into everyday conversations.

I hate people saying "Oooh! Mind your head!" after you've just put a great big feckin' dent in it on the corner of something. As if the pain wasn't enough to send me on a murderous rampage, that saying certainly is!

"It's too cold to snow"

Tell 'em that in fookin Russia.

'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.

 

I dont think Superman would agree with that.

Take a seat

No thanks, I'll just sit on it

'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.

 

I dont think Superman would agree with that.

 

Or polio sufferers.

...shame on your parents for not bringing you up to say these bollocks statements.

 

I'll have you know there were bollocks statements aplenty in our household growing up, just not this particular one.

The most commonly heard gibberish was:

 

"Because Why's not Zed" - if you asked "Why?" of something.

 

And speaking of being 'dragged up' - there was about 1001 different things/habits I had to refrain from doing, lest any stranger think that I'd "been dragged up".

 

Another homespun nonsense was "Well, I hope it keeps fine for you..." in answer to the humblest of childish requests

 

"I'd like a hoop and a stick for Christmas..."

 

"Well, I hope it keeps fine for you"

 

I'm filling up at the thought of it now.

All the "Blue sky thinking" "suck it and see" run it up the flagpole and see who salutes" bullshit you hear from pretentious cunts in offices

I've got a new one especially for them: "let's piss in your tea and see if you'll drink it..."

I never got it when two different proverbs were polar opposites.

My mum used to be a mine of useless sayings.

 

If I was getting under her feet she'd tell me that Too many cooks spoil the broth.

 

If I wasnt in her way she'd tell me Many hands make light work.

 

Why couldn't she say get from under my fucking feet!

When it's cold I often say "it's parky" though I don't actually know what this is referring to.

Anyone know it's origins?
