    I seen a thread a while ago about hate worthy expressions such as 'in fairness' etc

    So I wondered has an opposite one ever been posted?
    If not does anyone have any expressions that made them laugh out loud when they heard them?

    Some of my favorites are

    My uncle on describing immigrants he doesn't like:
    'They wouldn't work to warm themselves!'

    Another two from a friend of mine were:
    'its as useful as a chocolate teapot'

    On telling lies:
    Jaysus you'd make Lance Armstrong look honest!

    On lazy people:
    "If work was in bed he'd sleep on the floor!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭EdanHewittt


    Some Buachaill

    On describing anyone who rises above the average 'normal' behavior in any situation.
    Irish alternative to "some boy", where 'Buachaill' means boy.

    "Look at him with his six wives, he's some buachaill"

    'A mouth as dry as Gandhi's flip-flop/a nun's cunt'

    and

    'He's some man for one man'

    My favourite would probably be "give it to me straight, like a pear cider made from 100% pears."

    I like

    "Its a long road without some cnut flogging strawberries".

    Multo autem ad rem magis pertinet quallis tibi vide aris quam allis

    "You've a face like a bulldog lickin' piss off a nettle."
    "Wouldn't get up on er to get over a wall."
    "Face like a camel chewin' a wham bar."

    Remember you have to get behind someone before stabbing them in the back.

    "She had a gee on her like a stab wound in a gorilla's back!"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭juan.kerr


    I wouldn't ride her into battle!

    Semtex wouldn't shift her.

    She wouldn't get a dart in Tara Street.

    I realise this may be heightening the tone beyond the normal knob jokes and toilet humour but:

    'quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit'

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭confuseddotcom

    Sure, I'll give you a hear start. She's not that hot anyway.

    If she finds out your deaf, I think I will just walk the trail and say stupid things in such a way you will hear them as being intelligent and agree,

    give me your hand (molly, that is what I would like her name to be if you have no objections).

    Hard at work, or hardly working?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    Swings and Roundabouts.

    Apply it to anything, the more complex the more rewarding. It's a more versatile form of "That would be an ecumenical matter".

    A sniper wouldnt take her out ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭Duff


    I'd ate the arse off a low flying duck.

    I'd ate the back door buttered.

    I'd rather shíte on me hands and clap.

    She looks like her face was on fire and someone put it out with a fork.

    I'd drag me balls through broken glass just to **** in her shadow.

    I wouldn't ride her if she had pedals.

    An oldie:

    "God forgive me," when it comes hot on the heels of some particularly horrible piece of invective.
    It's like a get-out-of-jail free card which nullifies what came immediately before it.

    "Jaysus he's an awful c*nt an' I hope him an' all his family die horrible slow deaths from crotchrot an' the divil rides them sideways with his crookedy aul cock for all eternity, God forgive me!"

    He would get up on the crack of dawn.

    As useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

    He is so mean he would peel an orange in his pocket.

    He's not backwards about going forward.

    He wouldn't give you the steam off his piss.

    As useful as tits on a hen (useless)

    If he saw a pussy he'd probably put a plaster on it (inexperienced)

    He was like a dog with two dicks (happy)

    On ugly women: I wouldn't put a walking stick in there
    I wouldn't ride her with yours

    Putting a curse on something: The curse of the seven snotty orphans on it
    The curse of the seven castles of Clonmines on it

    On stuck-up people: I knew him when he had no arse in his pants
    Tis far from champagne he was reared


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,326 ✭✭✭S28382
