I remember something about some eejit a while back there going on about claims that he misrepresented his finances to an ethics committee being all 'smoke and daggers'.....
:rolleyes:

Your post, seriously no joke I have never heard that sort of thing before.

El Guapo! · 13-08-2010 5:06pm

Well theres a song that I always sing and dunno the words, ye know the one

"my love has got no money, he's got his trombeleeze..."

WTF is a trombeleeze???!!!!!!

It's usually song lyrics that stick my head. I had a friend who sang the start of "Summer of 69" as :
"I had my first real sex dream".....changes the whole meaning of the song! LOL

I know it's smoke and mirrors, but what's the other one.. something about daggers? I feel there's an actual saying that has been mixed up..

What does head poncho stand for?

My geography teacher used to say pacific instead of specific,don't know if it was intentional though.

It should be 'head honcho', as in the boss or whatever.

I too am having a slow day. I LOVE that saying! I always imagine some hooded person a la Voldemort lurking in the shadows. But in a non-scary way.

I think it means manager or something. For a bit there I was picturing a poncho type thing on the head lol

Donie Cassidy while speaking in the Seanad praising the work of the Jekyll and Hyde foundation, he meant the Jack and Jill foundation.

Mate of mine used to say that she'd 'put the spanner amongst the pigeons', quality mixed metaphor.

Not really. There's an interview with Brian Adams where he says 69 is not a year

Billin & millin instead of Billion & million. Ned O'Keeffe being a serial offender

A friend of my exes thought it was "patience is avert you" thinking it meant patience was somehow avoiding you.

Kimia · 13-08-2010 5:20pm

I saw someone say in pearl instead of in peril. hehe

Cloak and dagger saying rocks. It reminds me of in Aladdin when Jafar is in disguise at the old crone man trying to get Aladdin to go into the cave for him.

Chicargo can be lovely in Aurgust, just as Puncherstown can be in Spring.

Blancherstown however can be difficult to reach from Fizzboro especially if you are living in a Coporation house.

Why?

why?

Pure fcuking laziness, that's why.

Cloak and dagger - spies, double-dealing, subterfuge, nefarious deeds, that sort of stuff.

Upset the apple tart (should be apple cart)
Wet my appetite (should be "whet" or sharpen my appetite)
I should of, a firm favourite on boards.ie (I should have)

Honcho is from the Japanese han = head + cho = team, giving team head or leader

When that song came out first ,we had no such thing as Google and that feckin' "tromboleese" lyric drove me mental for several months.....

In Cork there was a church called "The Good Shepherds" who would take in orphans. It was a popular threat to children "Cop on, or I'll send ya to the Cuchepurds!"
