I was thinking the other day about a silly (harmless) saying I use which would be nonsense to most people but makes perfect sense to me (and those that know me well).

My "covers all eventualities" saying is : "Tiddely Pom" which can be used in so many different ways and has got me out of trouble more times than I can remember.

For example:-

Well, "Tiddely Pom" (meaning that's just the way it is so accept it)

TIDDELY POM? (meaning Bloody hell you are joking aren't you?)

Well that's all Tiddely Pom to me (meaning I haven't got the foggiest fart what you are on about)

.....and you can just go and "Tiddely Pom" yourself for all I care! surely no explanation needed shock

Dad was from Liverpool - Mumk thought his 'any road' instead of 'anyway' was dead common! He would talk of a child being 'fetched up' instead of 'brought up' - just to wind her up, I think... another saying of his, to describe a weakling 'He couldn't punch his way out of a wet Echo' - the Liverpool Echo being a well-known local newspaper...

My DH (a foriner) says that if something is offered in a tiny portion, it is "like throwing snowballs in hell". And best of all.. Back when snakes had legs ie. a long time ago.
I use the "useless as a chocolate teapot" often and not having a pot to piss in. smile

She/He Fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Every smile has a frown, all you have to do is turn it upside down.

Sticking your snout in the trough mind get your nose bitten off.

Any road up.

Like trying to catching snow/soot.
