Thread Name: BS: Phrases that don't travel
Subject: RE: BS: Phrases that don't travel
'For God's sake shut yer gob and let yer ass ave a chance' I've heard many a Bristolian say but doesn't travel well.

'You can't educate pork' when someone does something really stupid or says something really ridiculous.

On the Bank Holiday weekend I travel with my Isle of Wight pal through Gloucester, Herefordshire, Brecon through to Swansea and back to Bristol. At the end of it I said 'God my backside is making buttons yer' meaning 'It has been such a long journey and my backside is numb.' I had to repeat what I had said to him so he could get the gist of what I was saying.
