    Anti Social Behaviour.
    Who came up with that sanitised phrase?

    It sounds like not making conversation at a dinner party rather than acting the bollix.

    probably posted before: having your cake and eating it.

    I don't get the point in this saying at all, sure if I have cake I eat it, what else to do with it..:confused::confused:

    it doesn't reflect the circumstances it's used for:mad::)

    The original meaning was someone who wanted to eat their cake and still have it, not have it and eat it. In other words achieve their goal without making any effort or sacrifice.

    “Hold my beer.”

    Overused. Though I think I tired of it fairly quickly.

    I remember years ago returning from Germany taking a train from Dublin to Galway
    Leaving each station the announcer said "doors want to be closed". I knew what he meant but Wondered what our foreign friends made of it
