Nice turn of phrase you've heard

I'd eat the leg of the lamb of god.

Dick phelan · 09-07-2019 4:13pm

Money won't make you someone your not, it allows you to be who you really are.

Never step on anyone's toes to get ahead, in the future they may lead to the ass you need to kiss

God doesn't take a check (Meaning your money's no good to you when you die)

Oh I'd say they'd cut yer hair with yer hat on.

Referring to a cute hoor.

A good pun is its own reword.

amber2 · 17-07-2019 1:57pm

It’s like rubbing lard to a fat pigs arse.

After a gatherer comes a scatterer.

boombang · 17-07-2019 2:01pm

Cool as a breeze

branie2 · 17-07-2019 2:26pm

He'd rob you of a decade of the rosary

17-07-2019 5:05pm

I've seen more fat on an oven chip.

He'd rob the eye out of your head and come back for your eyelashes.

He'd get up on a cracked plate.

She's a pair of legs on her that would kickstart a JCB on a frosty morning.

He Should be shot with balls of his own shyte

* self explanatory I hope

Strumms · 17-07-2019 7:38pm

We used to have a teacher and when he’d want to give you a dressing down would get you to stand up, deliver his ‘talking to’ then finish with...”now sit down there like a good lad and take the weight off the floor”

FMG · 17-07-2019 7:59pm

He'd ate a picture of the Last Supper

Sharp MZ700 · 17-07-2019 8:06pm

I could ate the back feet of a low flying duck. (I'm starving)

DrPhilG · 17-07-2019 8:13pm

He couldn't even lay straight in the bed.

Couple of variations of the same one.

Flat-out (pause to sound like you're actually busy) like an egg in a pan.
Flat-out... Like a lizard drinking

Hungover
"how are you after last night"?
"sick as a hospital" or "sick as a bus to Lourdes"

Stop moaning ffs · 18-07-2019 8:51am

If it was raining soup he’d be out with a fork

BENDYBINN · 18-07-2019 9:23am

A lucky man..
If he threw up **** it would come down as chocolate...

sligojoek · 18-07-2019 9:27am

^^^^^^^^

The opposite.

If he fell into a barrel of tits he'd come out sucking his thumb.

skooterblue2 · 18-07-2019 10:40am

This is my Aunts favourite phrase and funnily enough it applies to herself.

(After hearing someone had passed away)... "Hell won't be full without him/her!"

Seanachai · 18-07-2019 12:33pm

Guy I worked with told me about a fella where he's from used to say, 'Burst pipe and phuck it!' a lot when he was under pressure.

Another one is, 'I never met the baytings of him', in other words I never met anybody like him.

'She'd turn the milk sour', pretty self explanatory

He thinks he knows it all but he doesn't know enough to know that he knows nothing.

If he had two brains he'd be twice as stupid.

18-07-2019 6:54pm

If he had a brain cell it would die of loneliness.

Never quite understood this one. I mean, if I have to be shot with balls of Shyte, I'll take my own rather than someone else's, thanks

He/she has a face like a bulldog licking p1ss off a nettle

It's not exactly a well established phrase, but the "do, do" people say from time to time really is endearing.

Not a classic example, but in this Pingu video at 1:40.

Had forgotten tgis one but reading the fabulous Ross O Carroll Kelly today reminded me:

That will really snap her crayons for her.

Heard a lad on Liveline today giving out about lack of wheelchair facilities in modern buildings.

"Architects and engineers have too much education and not enough common sense."

I've read a good few f them but never came across this. Is it something that will make her angry?

ZV Yoda · 19-07-2019 12:22am

When I was a kid, if my dad sent me to the shop for something, he’d say “don’t be there till you’re back... and if you fall, don’t wait to pick yourself up”. In other words - hurry up.

“He/she wouldn’t get a wave at Dollymount” - I.e, not exactly a good looking person.

“Marry a man with a short cough and long pockets” - I.e, marry a rich man who’s close to death.

“He/she wouldn’t spend Christmas” - they’re stingy

“Never mind the cat... I wouldn’t put the light out on a night like that” - bad weather outside.

sligojoek · 19-07-2019 12:46am

You wouldn't put a milk bottle out in that rain.

Stop moaning ffs · 19-07-2019 2:27pm

What was the one when you were a kid where if you stick you tongue out and it’s black you’re lying

Anyone remember?

jimgoose · 19-07-2019 2:30pm

That fella is the two ends of a mule's tool.
