    The Devil is beating his wife.

    Rain when the sun is shining.

    If God lived on earth, people would break his windows.

    If the rich could hire the poor to die for them, the poor would make a very nice living.

    Don’t argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    'He'd peel an orange in his pocket'- someone who is very stingy.

    My favourite saying from my uncle is : 'he's like a blind skunk that fell in love with a fart'. Not entirely sure of its meaning, but I think it refers to a lad who is a bit clueless.

    If I wanted to hear an arsehole I would have farted

    I got on great with the cleaner of a place I used to work, I am very witty and I was in my 20s and she was 50s from the inner city and I was trying to wind her up and she nailed me with this:

    "I'm too big of a cat to be taken in by a kitten" I am in my 40s and I use it myself now

    It's the same as saying "That fella, he's the type you'd invite him to the communion and he'd stay on for the confirmation".

    Someone who overstays their welcome and gets too comfortable. Starts eating your food out of the fridge. Taking showers in your house. And you just invited them over for the evening.

    Wise words of wisdom from my dad after I puked from too many pints, aged 19.

    My dad to a cyclist, one evening on the quays.

    Thanks!

    My OH's dad has a wicked turn of phrase. I find a lot of them hilarious even though he's not saying them as a joke. Great one, on a windy bendy road - "the cúnt that laid this out the first day ever must have had a reel in his head"
