    So TTFN is Ta Ta For Now?
    Why would you replace the words with letters, theyre all one syllable anyway.
    Some people really need a kick in the hole in fairness.

    remember back at school on occasions the rough guys use to say to the sissy boys "you're afraid of your sh*t"

    ooh this thread reminded my of a common enough insult when we were younger that i don't hear any more,

    "o go swing of my left tit" :P Ah the memories!

    Lol! Never heard that one, but if someone was bragging about something n you couldn't give a sugar you'd say - "big swing of a hairy mick3y"

    I also remember instead of saying how's she going people would ask "How's she cuttin'?"
    Your answer would reflect your mood, eg smoothly like a butter knife, or rough as a saw etc

    As per title, for some reason this popped into my head. Haven't heard it in ages. I think it's time to dust it off again. Anyone heard it in the last ten years?
    All factual replies and newspaper cuttings will be appreciated. Any other suggestions for our new language renaissance?

    I use a it... well sorta

    Husband: Where's my keys?
    Me: Is my face red?
    Husband: No!
    Me: They're not up me hole then and the daisies remain unpicked!

    Haven't heard that one in a while :D

    It's all shifting these days again though, I actually like that word this time around

    Another one I aven't heard in a while is "Well you can go and scratch my arse with a broken bottle"

    Don't forget the "getting browned off" bit added to the end of it too :pac:

    I always liked the sarcastic, "Big swinging dicky" retort when I was younger! :D
