11 Aug 06 - 03:53 PM (#1807497) Subject: RE: BS: What phrases do you love :-) From: harpmolly A few phrases I picked up from my mom: "Ive got a great memory, but it's short." ;) "That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!" And one I came up with on my own (a variation of the first one): "Oh, I've got a mind like a steel sieve." I've also cribbed a few expressions from wonderful author Terry Pratchett, just because I thought they were funny as hell. My fellow Americans do look at me as though I'm, er, a few pickles short of a picnic, though: "Arrrrgh! I'm too short for this shit!" "Pull the other one, it's got bells on." :) Molly |

12 Aug 06 - 03:15 AM (#1807927) Subject: RE: BS: What phrases do you love :-) From: Rasener "Faster, faster, harder, harder." and Bob's your uncle As a Brummie (born in Birmingham England for our American friends) this one really tickles my fancy Brummangem screwdriver Meaning A hammer. Origin The phrase has its source in the belief that people from the English West Midlands city of Birmingham (Brummagem) were unsophisticated and made crude goods - a predudice that persists in the UK today. Other places, notably Liverpool and Ireland, have suffered the same jibe more recently. Brummagen is a slang version of Birmingham, which is a version of Bromwicham, itself a version of Brimidgeham, the old name for Birmingham. The Bromwicham form persists in the name of the town to the west of Birmingham - West Bromwich. |
