What rules!! I don't know any men who would use such unnecessary language.:eek:

Same here! But, I do know a lot of guys who would rather go to an exhibition than down the pub with the lads so my friends may not be representative!

Would not bother me in the slightest, I quite like the inventive use of language. Then again, I used the phrase "dry as a nun's chuff" at work today so am probably hideous vulgarian!

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

So it means something different for you than it would for me. I don't think I've heard it locally, but on TV programmes like the BBC ones set in Manchester I think they say "who's !!!!!! on your chips?"

People asked who's peed on your bonfire here. I think I'd wince if I heard the word pi$$ - it's not said much on our posh council estate

But I would be annoyed with my OH no matter which phrase he'd used because important family stuff should matter to him too - it's not a case of he could go out but the wife's sulking and saying no without good reason.

I've never heard this phrase before. I have occasionally said 'pee'd on his/her bonfire' which I suppose is the same thing. Doesn't bother me in the slightest - sometimes you need a colourful phrase to get the point across A favourite of mine is 'nuttier than a squirrel's fart'

Never heard of it and might be a little bit cross if my OH used it to say why he couldn't go out but would understand.

Nope never heard it before but wouldn't really be offended, there are much worse things to say

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

No need maybe, but it can be very entertaining in the right circumstances.
