Favourite UK expressions

[Inner Smile]

I absolutely love 'soft lad' for Liverpool and 'catch yourself on' for Ireland

Some cockney rhyming slang makes me laugh too. A MONKEY

Any good ones from your neck of the woods?

 

[Inner Smile]

I'm pretty sure most of the UK wouldn't know what a 'parmo' is

 

[lolly]

Is it the same dish that Australians call a parma?

 

[lolly]

One of my favourite (largely) local ones is SCRAGE

 

[Marilyn]

Minging

 

[Inner Smile]

Wasn't minging like an early 2000s thing?

It looks similar lolly but don't think it is the same, it's a teesside @Shoat dish. Nice with garlic sauce

 

[Sheena]

Too many:

SHORT SHRIFT
NIPPLES LIKE CHAPEL HAT PEGS

And a Portsmouth particular favourite, COLDER THAN A WITCH'S TIT

 

[Inner Smile]

SHORT SHRIFT, bloody love that

 

[Sardonicus]

ANTWACKY as a Scouse expression for old fashioned

Also BLERT for a foolish person

 

[Inner Smile]

Brookside makes me laugh so much even just for the accent. Jimmy Corkhill and Julia Brogan make me howl

 

[Sardonicus]

And a Portsmouth particular favourite, COLDER THAN A WITCH'S TIT

I've used FLAT AS A WITCH'S TIT before but I didn't know this variation

 

[Devil]

Is it the same dish that Australians call a parma?

The Aussie one is tomato sauce based and with ham, I think a parmo is bechemal? But same sort of delicious shite
