    Ever drive a taxi and have an annoying deck calling you mr taxi man in an annoying way. I think I was the first to do that.
    Today I farted and told the wife I left her with a dolly. It was a Parton gift as I left the room.
    It’ll catch on.
    Ever reckon you came up with something that caught on?

    Do people say when someone is milking something that they are "making a meal up of that?" My friend and I always use to say that but I'm not sure if it's commonly used?

    Making a meal of it would be a historical thing. I remember footballers from the 90s being accused of it when feigning injuries. I’d say milking it is a newer phrase.

    We use to call someone like that a "thriller" like "what a thriller making a meal up of it." :)

    Get with the programme.

    A dolly is a safety device which is primarily used to let fresh air into buses

    Or so Conor McGregor told me

    I knew a lad who honestly thought he had invented the word "****ehawk". It took approximately 4 seconds of googling to prove it was used decades (if not centuries) before he was even born.

    My father referred to someone as a "dilix" ... It appears to be a cross between a dick and a bollix... Never heard anyone use it only him. Thought it was kinda funny.

    I may be mistaken but I think that was said by Oscar Wilde one night at a CrossFit class.
