Subject: RE: BS: Cabbage looking From: bfdk Date: 10 Jul 07 - 09:48 AM Similar Danish expressions: I didn't arrive on the 4 o'clock train, you know I'm not entirely green, you know I'm not entirely wet behind the ears (as opposed to being "thick behind the ears", which refers to something quite different ;o)) Best wishes, Bente |

Subject: BS: Cabbage looking From: John MacKenzie Date: 10 Jul 07 - 09:11 AM The other day someone said to me "I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, ya know", which made me chuckle. When I was a kid my mother always said, "I didn't come up the Clyde on a water biscuit you know",(I am a Glaswegian of course) and I often say, "I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking" which is another one of those 'I ain't no rube' type sayings. Just wondered what similar phrases you use in you neck of the woods? Giok |
