Language is brilliant..can be used to make you happy,sad or incite differing meanings.

what is your favourite word/phrase...meanings would be helpful!

My first fave word would have to be strumpet- a prostitute or harlot

phrase... "freeze the balls of a brass monkey"..... a brass monkey is a stack of cannon balls, when its cold they topple over due to contraction of metal, hence freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

I use kismet a lot.. probably a little too much.. but I do believe in it..

I use bollox far too much, and swear too much and my beloved thinks it's all very common and unladylike. It is of course, but then I am very uncommonly common and since when are tarts ladylike? Aaaannd I'm not ashamed of any of it...:)

.. but for all that I do not and have never in my life allowed the C word to pass my lips.. and shall never.. even although some luffly peeps on the site and elsewhere have in the past enjoyed my discomfiture at its use by others.. I'm not THAT common..;)

''Heh Ho'' Yes, I do actually say this!

''Golly gosh'' This too!

''Do you catch my drift'' I cultivated this one, as a teenager.

''ockered'' Northern English term for ''awkward''

''crate-egg'' Another northern term. What you say to someone, when they have done something daft.

''wast tha born int barn'' When someone hasn't closed the door

''put wood int hole'' Close the door

I can also swear.....''Bugger it''......''Fuckem all, bar one and bollocks to him''.....the f word.....used expressively and when driven to the point of absolute and utter despair, I can sort of find words that shock me and not ones I am proud of. It appears, that I do seem to have a way with words......

And when England is playing Australia in an Ashes Test Match (that's Cricket, of course), I have been heard to yell at the television screen ''Bowl the Aussie bastard out''.........Cricket can get quite exciting.

Oh, I suppose there must be a lot more. Ho Hum! (oops, I say that, too)

We usually say "were you born in a barn?"

where I'm from we had one that used to drive the ex nuts, "see what I'm saying?" Which means the same as "catch my drift."

A few of my favorites that I actually use on a (semi) regular basis:

"Copious quantities of cold cash"

"Cool Beans!" (for really neat stuff)

"Poor planning on your part does not create an emergency on my part." (I use this at work often)

"Approach the world with a sense of childlike wonder"

"Awww....Bat shit!" (used for frustration)

My favourie word is, "friend".

It stands for so many wonderful people in my life, past and present, alive and gone, good times and bad, and the memories.

It really hit home a few years ago when my daughter was having her 5th birthday party. All the family was present, grand parents, aunts and uncles, ect. But when her friends pulled up, she went nuts, was so excited. Kept running around screaming, "my friends are here! my friends are here!!

I was so happy that she had friends to get excited over. And I wish her all the good friends she can handle in life.

Everyone cherish your friends.

Canticle

A very good word to like, mikey. A friend is a treasure and when you lose one, it's like throwing all the gold in the world overboard in mid-Atlantic. The dross we have to tolerate and sometimes give in to. A true friend loves us, come what may.....even distance and separation.

"Damn, I might have shit in my nest....." when I do something that might not be in my best interest.

Fortunately, I haven't had to use this in a while, but I used to date a girl that thought it was the funniest, and most appropriate thing she'd ever heard for that sort of screw up.

A favoured phrase espesh when some dick has annoyed me is "fuckin erse!".. "erse" being eastern Scots for the word arse.... at work it i often imperceptibly used when some young dick does some thing really stupid or gets things wrong or simply acts like a fuckin erse!!! It is said in my mind even more often!!! I am a lady after all...:tong:

I still, on occasion, use the word "lift" for elevators.

"I love it when a plan comes together on an odd numbered day" (or even numbered, if it happens to be an even numbered day)

"Knitting was invented by men......it's called chainmaille"

"A friend with mead is a friend indeed!"

"A hundred miles down.....time for 2 more gallons of gas" I ride a motorcycle and love to say this one when next to the guy filling up his Hummer with 100 dollars worth of gas. (Hummers get a maximum of 12 miles per US gallon)

"Stop is not a suggestion.....it's the law" Used when I see people run stop signs in my neighborhood.

Some remembered gems from my children.

My eldest always had a quaint way of putting things. He decided that if something was ''upside down,'' the opposite of that was obviously, ''upside right.'' Totally understandable, if you think about it.

And avacado was pronounced ''avva-kadoo''

When shopping in the supermarket, his younger (by one year), brother, spotted some cuts of meat and never having come across them before, decided and he was about 6, that the spelling was incorrect. ''Mummy, what are Lion steaks?'' Of course, it actually said, loin steaks. I'm not sure if he was relieved to find out that the supermarket, did not sell lion steaks, or not.

Another lovely word my eldest son used was ''natterator,'' for ''narrator,'' when writing a play, aged about 7.

I think that "fuck" is actually the most versatile.

It is used in so many ways, but the most eloquent use of "fuck" was by one of our drill sergeants in basic, who had to unjam a bore brush from the barrel of a rifle.
After unsuccessfully banging the rod against a nearby tree for 5 minutes to force the brush out, he proclaimed, in total frustration, "FUCK. This fuckin fucker is fucked up".

I like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, as it remains quite easily something to say when you've nothing to say. :) Also tend to use 'the other day' a great deal, and it gets confusing because I might mean last month/week/yesterday. Even weirder was when I was using U.K. time and mashing days together, I had Suonday, Muesday and so on. I used to that because it was difficult meeting up with U.K. mates online what with time differences. Now we can use Internet Beats or UTC, or unfortunately, not talk at all. Think my mixing up weeks, days caused the unavoidable bit of madness which sent mates for the hills. Oh well, it happens. *sigh*


Being from the South, I never really understood Southern talk. It's ... s ... l ... o ... w. Folks in the South put great emphasis on talking, talking before they think. We also like being slow in order to let what we say really sink in, because usually we hate repeating ourselves and our words are important. I use 'well shiiit' a good bit too, and of course the Appalachian Southern, afixin. "I'm afixin to get that there John boat an go to fishin' down the dam. Ya'll c'mon." Translation: I'm getting prepared to go fishing in the John boat at the dam.

"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff."

Heard yesterday on the school playgroud as a particularly obnxious 14 year old boy was taunting two older girls with sexually explicit remarks..

Boy.. "Go an ile (oil) yer fanny (pussy) wi' loadsi vinegar ye wrinkled auld prune".

Girl (tough as nails) after grabbing aforesaid cheeky sod.. " Ye see this hand? One mair f***in' comment oot o' your foul trap an' ye'll find it rammed up yer arse, wrapped roond yer innards an ye'll be pulled inside oot.. then I'll hing (hang) ye off the rugby posts doon the playin fields ti fuckin' dry.."

Boy.. "Miss.. MISS.. HELP ME...."

..and so Miss became mediator, life saver and disciplinarian....

Ahhh twas 'ere thus....:bigrin:

"That's a horse of a different color." Old American phrase referring to something unexpected or for opinion-changing information. Was still commonly used in the Midwest til the late 50's - early 60's.

"if I had a nickle for every time........." (I heard that, saw that, that happened, etc.)

''Never let the bastards grind you down''

Favourite thing to say by the first man I ever loved.........who also used to say the following.....at appropriate times, during conversations, with others....

''Look, it's gruesome. Look again, it's grew some more''

Swore like mad too!!

Those are phrases, that will find British people using, too. Were and still are used.

Like that Fran...very funny. Well done, that girl.

.....and.....ahem....Denholm was exactly how an actor should be.....perfection and never played himself (leave that to people like Olivier and Caine and Finney and O'Toole and couple of Welsh guys)......No, No.......he was like the difference between Venice and Florence....one being beautiful, but brash, the other being classy and sublime.....enchanting and as my older son said to me, when visiting Florence, with his fiancee's family.....''It's all that you said, it would be and more''.......that's what Denholm's acting was like....a total joy to behold.

n the words of my son, which I catch myself using more than I want to...derf! Which I guess is the new duh.

My Mom says I use sorry way too much. I apologize for everything apparently, even if it wasn't something I could control.
Hun, I call everyone that. My favorite thing used to be to call people sweet pea.
I hate when I go to think of something I say alot and then can't think of any thing!! I will post more later if I think of them.

Favorite word(s): Summer, Ocean, Beach, Vacation

Favorite phrase(s): "...if you're tired of the same ol' story...turn some pages..." from REO Speedwagon's "Roll with the Changes". For some reason that lyric really hit home with me when I first heard it back in the 70's. I took it to mean that if there was something in your life you didn't like then do something about, i.e. "turn some pages". It's actually gotten me through some tough times. Funny how a song can have such an impact.

And here's two phrases from Lee Haney, 8-time Mr. Olympia professional bodybuilding champion that I liked, and still think about while working out: "Last set, best set" and "Stimulate, don't annihilate"

LOL...I like that. I used to think that ''Life's a bitch and then you die'' was actually ''Life's a beach and then you dive.'' Probably, not a lot of difference.

When I was 12 we were staying with my mum's parents in Salford for a family wedding. After the wedding Mum and Dad took a few days to themselves and my grandparents looked after us. My Grandma, an old Mancunian harridan with no sense of humour and an evil temper, who none of us liked caught my brother playing with himself. She said to him that if he carried on doing that disgusting thing he would go blind. Big bruv said for her not to be stupid (ever the cheeky bugger) that was an old wives tale.. she snapped back at him.. "Its no old wives tale u cheeky little bugger. See these two fingers? Do it again and I'll poke your bloody eyes out.. ".
