Here's a few:


My Gran would always say "Sure as eggs". Yes, eggs. I'm not sure what makes them so sure but you always know where you are with them.



'Acting the goat' - meant to describe someone who likes to mess about, being silly. As in "That boy is acting the goat".


A particular favourite: 'God's pop' meaning 'water'. Only old people seem to say this. As in "Have a drink of God's pop", always with a hearty chuckle.



Share your's. I wanna learn.

Is that anything like Jesus Juice? I remember Jesus Juice we used to get it all the time at MJ's house.

I say sure as eggs ...but I say sure as hell more often and I don't know why because I don't believe in the "traditional" view of hell

it's very common but "g'day" always stumps me lol... I know it's an abbreviation but it's funny

hey gorgeous by the way

Yes. But that's the new version. Like diet pop.

No worries - pick up that bloody NY ticket and have a great time in Worthing. Say Hi to Shelley for me.

One of my favourite expressions.

'Never look a gift horse in the mouth'. A. What is a 'gift horse'?! B. Why would I be looking at in the mouth?!?!?!?

JDINTERACTIVE said:

Better looking in the mouth than the other end..

REDFEATHERS said:

That's true. Although both are quite frightening experiences I'm sure. I get nervous when stroking horses.

REDFEATHERS said:

Pussyfootin', anyone?

I don't even know what it means!

HamsterHuey said:

I will show you in London..

REDFEATHERS said:

And now I am actually scared.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

When looking to buy a horse, you check their mouth to see a part of a mean of seeing if they are healthy.

If you look in the mouth of a horse that is a gift you are bemeaning the gift, taking it for granted so to speak.

Someone buy JD a horse on the weekend, please.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

is that what they call it these days?

"The whole kit and kaboodle"...wtf is a kaboodle? Apparently it comes with a kit. And apparently when you get both, you've gotten everything there is to get...

"The bee's knees"...I didn't even know bees had knees. And if they do, I don't suspect that they look all that great...

"Chew the fat"...I don't know what chewing fat has to do with having a conversation, but if anyone's chewing any fat of any kind, I'd rather they keep their mouths closed and not try to talk while doing so...
