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.


What, evenb with the laugh?

23 Oxtail soup, hah hah haaa.


it was more of a mutley laugh, added to the mentalness of the situation
It's a mess, ain't it, sheriff?
If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here

'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?!


a gift horse is horse that is given as a gift and one (who is rude) would look in the horse's mouth to gauge its age and health to determine the quality of the gift.

make groceries or makin' groceries - to go grocery shopping; this phrase probably originated from the French expression for grocery shopping, "faire le marché"

they say its from new orleans

thats from wikipedia so could be completer rubbish lol

Recently the phrase "by heart" as in "i know it by heart" or "recite it by heart" has struck me as odd. I know that it means that you know something so well that it is just second nature to you but it does sound a bit odd when you think about it.

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.


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!



It just means living in a secluded far away place. It refers to the river styx.
"Living out in the styx."


Over here they say "out in the boonies" or "out in the cut"

I actually think "fuck you" is kind of strange. What exactly does it mean?

I think mis-handled phrases are the ones that jump out at me, like:

"a whole nother"
"I could care less"

One of my favorite phrases right now is:

"he doesn't have a dime in that quarter!"

"Don't monkey around with that" was always something my grandpa would say and of course being the ham, I'd start with the monkey noises while doing whatever it was.

My least favorite phrase is "Good For You". I don't know why I hate it so much, it just seems so insincere, either that or it shares the acronym for Go Fuck Yourself
