lovely sayings

[burlyb]

I read a really lovely saying earlier

 

tears are made up of 1% water

and 99% feelings

 

know any nice ones lets see them

[snowdragon]

To be loved you also need to be loving

[ims21]

It is the within that determines the without

[snowdragon]

a smile costs nothing, nor do manners

[woody1066]

As my Grandad used to say

 

"You can lead a horse to water,

 

But you cant milk chocolate"

 

This was shortly before we had him sectioned

[burlyb]

lol woody

my dad used to say

where were you going

when I saw you coming back

[LaughingGirl]

In situations where, for example, someone was asking for an exorbitant amount of money for say a car, my Dad always used to say "He's nae feart o' the coo's gettin' hem"*.

 

*Translation: "That gentleman is not afraid of being attacked by cows". Before anyone asks, I haven't got a clue what being attacked by cows has to do with...well...anything actually.

 

Other baffling Scottish-isms include (from my Nan) "Crivvens!" and "Haelp mah boab! (Help my Bob)". To this day, I have no idea what either of those actually mean. I mean, who is Bob? Why does he need help??

 

Despite the fact that none of them make any sense to me at all, all of those expressions still make me smile.

LG love them, here is another one

It's a bit black over Bill's mother's! no idea why Bill or why his mother!

I had an uncle who used to say things like

"That's about as much use as Anne Frank's drum kit"

[snowdragon]

as much use as a chocolate fire-guard

[whitenight]

Your not often wrong, but your right this time,

[snowdragon]

is your glass half full or is it half empty

[locutus]

is your glass half full or is it half empty

 

Technicly, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

 

"Crivvens" is also a saying from the "wee free men" in Terry Pratchett's "Discworld books for children" LG

 

Another saying that I'm fond of, when you ask if something works and the reply is "I hope so"... "Hope in one hand and s*&^ in the other. Lets see which hand gets full first"

[rds60h]

Fur Coat and no knickers......................All show on the outside but no substance.

Do you think I came down the Clyde on a water biscuit ? ..............How gullible do you think I am ?

Face like a skelpt arse................Looks miserable (Face like a smacked bottom)

[burlyb]

as welcome as a fart in a space suit

[snowdragon]

if you were any sharper you would be in the knife draw!

Most of those sayings were credited to 'Oor Wullie' star of a Scottish comic strip, a boy called William, known as Wullie, Oor Wullie is scots for Our William.

 

Wullie's gang consists of Fat Boab, Wee Eck and Soapy Soutar.

 

I always remember getting the album at Christmas, I'm sure every other year It was The Broons

[burlyb]

if wit were sh-t.....you'd be constipated.................not applicable to us

[snowdragon]

nowt as queer as folk!

[Guest Another Spartacus]

If it takes a pound and half of tripe to make an elephant a pair of knock kneed trousers, what time is it.

 

I know..........doesn't make any sense at all

 

Just something silly my dad used to say.

[labrat]

some fools cant be taught....

 

mostly bailifs

[up2meears]

I had a look at this thread expecting to shed a tear reading 2 pages of lovely sayings...... Instead I'm crying with laughter :lol::lol::lol:

 

By the way, here's the lovely saying I was going to contribute: 'What lies before us, is nothing compared to what lies within us'

 

Instead I feel I should share what my mum used to say when something went wrong as it will fit better..... 'Oh S*!t and fall back in it' (in her poshest voice.) Now I say it
