    When you fall over as a kid - Mother says "What did you do that for?"


    Yeah, i was bored and thought i know, why don't i just fall over and smash my face!

    Similar.

    Me eating a curry.

    Relative (watching) "Do you like curry?"

    Err. No, I always eat what I don't like.
  • My friends mum was telling us she thought her neighbour was dyslexsic,when i asked why she thought that she replied..she so skinny,never eats a good meal....
  • one of the favourite things i have heard said was from my partner who was on the phone to a company;
    telephone lady; ''could i take your initials please''
    my partner; ''yes. c.m.
    telephone lady; ''is that m for mother?''
    my partner; ''no, it's m for michael''

    i had to go into the kitchen to hide my laughter, but have enjoyed telling lots of people about it since......another one was when we took the dog to the vet, and he asked ''how are the dogs motions?'' to which my partner replied ''oh he's usually quite happy and friendly'' hahahaha!!

    My favourite is the classic Geordie-ism - I've never done a thing since last time I did it - as in "I've never been to St James Park since we lost against Arsenal"

    I'm married to a geordie, and get this from his family all the time.

    you see, I dont see whats wrong with this?!

    Is it cos I is a Geordie?! :p

    Another one I've never got is 'never say never.'

    Well how can you not say never cos to say never say never you've got to say never havent you?!

    A lot of a small amount makes a big amount. :D It's a bit like, look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves. :)

    We say muckle a lot. For instance if someone has a baby boy or toddler who is big for his age, we'll say he's a great muckle loon (great big boy). If someone asks how much I want on my plate for supper and I don't want a lot, i'll say 'nae muckle' which means not much.

    Bear with me :mad:.

    What the hell does it mean? Just typing it makes my blood pressure rise. I do not want to bear with anyone, I do not want to hear some idiot on the other end of the phone say it when they mean could you wait one moment while I find out/look it up/whatever. And even worse, when I see it written and misspelled so it reads 'bare with me' Arrrgggghhhhhh! :wall:
