I've heard so many funny sayings from people I've met from other places or in my travels. Many of them had to be explained to me as I couldnd't understand their meaning.
What funny colloquialisms or sayings have you heard?
I'll go first:
I heard this from my Boston sister-in-law: "I've got a hair over my can." Meaning I'm in a snit. The hair over the can is a description of a hair in the way of the vagina.
Have fun with this one ---BumbleBeeBoogie
"Ain't had this much fun since the hogs ate my baby brother" - means lots of fun.
Overheard at a petrol station in England's West Country:
"How are you."
"Can't complain. Doin' it or dogging it'--all the same."
"I feel like a three-legged cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond.."
I felt so small, I could've sat on the edge of a cigarette paper and dangled my legs.
(One of my cousins really said that!)
"I feel as rough as a badger's arse" (hangover)
"My mouth feels like the bottom of a budgie's cage" (hangover)
"Running around like a blue-arsed fly"
"Banging like a barn-door in a gale" (sex)
"Arse going like a fiddler's elbow" (sex again)
"Up and down like a bride's night-dress"
"I haven't had this much fun since the day I killed me grandmother." ...heard while in Newfoundland

pieman, welcome to Able2Know, glad to have you here.
How did you happen to choose your name, pieman?

hi b.b.b. Thank you for the warm welcome. I do not have a good explanation of why I chose the name pieman. It just popped into my head. I know it is from a nursery rhyme. regards John
My mouth tastes like a thousand dead russians- heard in the breakfast room after a big wedding
"As poor as a church mouse."
"Lower than a bug crawling under the belly of a rattlesnake."
(Heard that one in Arizona in refernce to a genuinely detested person.)
Slicker'n deer guts on a doorknob. (really good)
Prettier'n a speckled pup in a red wagon. (good looking)
Built like a brick shithouse. (well endowed woman)
"More front than Brighton" (a bold person)
I'm happier than a pig in ****.
I'm so poor, I can't even pay attention.
I'm happier than a clam at high tide.
Might as well. Can't dance, too wet to plow, too windy to throw rocks.
It's a half a bubble off of true.
How busy are you?
Busier than a diarhetic cat covering **** on a slanted tin roof going three miles for sand in a wind storm.
