Sayings

[dan4x4]

I love a good saying, old people are full of them. I don't know if they're regional but I thought I'd share some of my favourites in the hope that they never die..

Shinning like blahblahblahblah on a barn door - my gran used to say it all the time when i used to have a nice car and kept it clean and shiny

You cant polish a blahblahblahblah - haha

Teeth like a windy grave yard - haha

Happy as Larry - very happy

Gordon Bennett - if something surprising happens you just say gordon bennet haha like instead of jesus really.

Please share yours!

When poop hits the fan..

I guess sayings are very regional, but i also like them very much.. Most of them contain ages of wisdom and in about every situation one can be used to close the door on the subject of discussion.. But using or translating very wise sayings from my country or region could sound very stupid and saying absolutely zip or just not sound like a saying in another language..

All tho some travel around and get picked up everywhere.. Like "The pot calling the kettle black"

In our country we say "Falling from the rain into the drip" Probably saying nothing to anybody of you but it means mean "Falling from bad to worse".
