What a shock.

Very common turn of phrase around this area. Not one I'd consider offensive at all.

I_wanna_live_for_free

We would say "rained on your parade" - I do get the gist of "peed in my chips" but it's not really something that rolls off the tongue (_pale_) sorry that sounded gross, then!

'nuttier than a squirrel's fart' I like that. I intend to use it every day next week :rotfl:

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.

If I heard my OH say the the word "p!ss", it would be so out of character that I would assume that she had contracted Tourettes syndrome and wash her mouth out with soap before it got any worse.

I love a fruity phrase! My English friend has a ton of them. My current favourites are 'rough as a badger's !!!!!' and 'he's pulling my plonker' and 'she has a mouth like a cat's !!!!!' - that's her excellent description of the resident smoker. I'd never heard of any of those before she joined my team!

Just the usual ones, Dont use the same terminology amongst ladies, and what happens on a Lads night stays there.

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

Jx

I really must go out more, I've lived in Swansea for over 40 years in total and never heard the phrase


DKLS, I asked DH but he was at a loss to recognise the words you listed.... except the first, where he grew up 'fadge' was a type of girdle bread:

Torry_Quine

DKLS I stopped reading after the first line as those terms are disgusting and I can honestly say hand on hear that my husband would never use such words and I doubt he even knows them! :eek:

Don't judge all men by your standards, the men I have contact with don't use crude language whatever the context.

BitterAndTwisted

Unless Torry Quine has her OH bugged when he leaves the house I refuse to believe that most men don't express themselves in very different language in exclusively male company compared to when it's mixed. Same goes for the ladies, too.

The phrase I'm more acquainted with is "p!ssed on my corn-flakes". It is quite vulgar but I am not of such delicate sensbilities that I'd be offended by such language or would pretend to be.

FatVonD

I've never heard the chips version but know the bonfire version and would use it myself.

I wouldn't be offended in the slightest.
