Figure of speech?

I've heard it many times and wouldn't be overly offended. It can also depend on context, as can more polite phrasing. If my OH said I'd ruined his fun he might mean it in a jokey way, or he could be really annoyed. I'd be more offended by my OH being annoyed using nicer words than by him using that expression in a jokey way

Ellay you get to use DH now :T

I was re reading some of our old threads, I miss the old crowd on there I've been on it so long :rotfl: and was looking at your pics again :T

Next time I sprinkle vinegar on a fish supper, I'll think of this thread.

It's been just over a year for me now jax...obviously the romance has gone if I'm back to OH again lol
When's yours? Agree with you it seems ages - I still pop in now and again

I would tend to use the phrase in a slightly different context. When someone's spoiled things for themselves I would say "he's !!!!!! on his chips" - I don't think I've ever said that someone's !!!!!! on MY chips. And if you're offended by the language used, don't ever visit Swansea!! :D

Tomorrow is Friday - perhaps you really should pi$$ on his chips.

The Disney film Mulan (I recommend it!) contains the phrase "Who spat in her bean curd?". Uttered by the oldest living character.

It's used in the same way that I understand the chip-sprinkling phrase - and it's also pretty vulgar.

Yes, I think vulgar is the word.

My brother is coming to visit, from other side of country, and invited me and OH out for a meal. OH used this expression to a friend of his who asked if he was going out with the lads - 'i was but missus p!ss'd on my chips'.

I really took offense he would talk about me like that, especially in circumstances we have (dad ill, brother coming to visit).

He said I'm reading more into it, but don't speak in vulgar language and don't like he is referring to me that way.

I really wouldnt read anything into it, lads often talk in a way that they never would around their partners. Its lads banter and we talk shoite.

I went out last week for some beers with 3 Drs I know, very well educated, very clever guys all of have responsible jobs, Upstanding citizens etc etc, after the third beer we descended into blokedom and had a great discussion about monthly mentals, and mentals when dating. The terminology we used would never be used around partners.

I disagree. There is no need for vulgar/crude language whatever the setting.:eek:

There may be "no need" but its part and parcel of the male psyche, and most of us understand the rules.
