jami0mckay said:

HamsterHuey said:

Oh i know...but the phrase still does not make sense

i overheard someone use the phrase "behind God's back" to describe living far away from the city.

I had never heard that phrase before and now I love it and use it all the time.

JasmineFire said:

hmmmm not heard that either, I have heard of people living in the sticks over here that means the same thing. Don't understand that one either!

"I'll make you smile the other side of your face in a minute", that's a good one.
Would you tape one side of the persons mouth so they can only smile on one side in a lop-sided manner? Hmm, I wonder.

WHAT CAMED 1st THE BACON OR THE EGG????? HAHAHA WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!!!!

It is rather straight-forward, I think.

It means; "Your sniffling like a baby irritates the hell out of me in such a way I could actually use physical violence to get rid off the irritation."

I have heaps but u would have to ask Byron what they are....what sounds normal to me he says hes never heard before

someone told me they had to go "Make groceries"....i had no idea what the hell they were talking about.

I just used that phrase in the kitchen at work, Mary the cleaner now thinks I've gone mental again

'Never look a gift horse in the mouth'.

What is a gift horse and more importantly why would you be looking at it in the mouth?!

Rhondab said:

mmmm could be rude, they could however be making groceries

jami0mckay said:

I saw a crazy woman buying 24 cans of oxtail soup once, and I know it was 24 as she threw each one in her trolley with a shout of '1,,,2,,,3,,,' like a messed up Count Dracula from sesame street.
