My dad ALWAYS says 'you make a better door than a window' when i stand in front of the tv.

 

Friends from down south have no idea what i mean when i say it.

Just watched Shameless and they said "Piffy". I'd never heard it before I read it on here - WOW:D

Brass monkeys I believe is an old Navy saying.

 

I think the brass monkey was the device that held cannon balls ... and when it was really cold they fell out... hence the saying..

My dad says "Let the dog see the rabbit" - when he wants someone to move so that he can have a closer look at somthing, or when he turns a light on.

 

Anyone else heard it?

My mum used to "threaten" me with the names of two "mythical" characters to warn me off mithering her for whatever I used to mither her for - Icky The Bladder Blower and Dicky Ogg. I never found out who they were, but it worked!

 

She also used to tell me to look out for the man with as many noses as there are days in the year. It was only many years later that I realised she only said this on New Years Eve.
