Language chuckles

Aagghh! overheard!

"There aren't any illegible bachelors around these days" (overhead in a coffee bar several years ago)

"That's an elephant" (irrelevant)

My neighbour kept talking to me about his 'prostrate' problems - and a rally posh lady à la Mrs Bouquet kept telling me about taking her grand-daughter to the 'ménage' for horse-riding. At least your Hungarian man had a good excuse ;)

DGD saw the rain running downn he window today and said" Grandma the window is sweaty!"

I will sometimes say to people 'sympathise your watches' Yes I know it is wrong, but I heard it once, and at amused me. I love to see peoples faces, they are not sure whether to correct me - because they know I quite like words - or just take it as it is. I would not say it amongst people I do not know, don't want to appear ignorant.

My sister's Belgian friend asked her if she 'unplugged her eyebrows'.

No Ana that was her attempt at "Dame Edna Everage"

The man from Ben's Gutters (Spanish, I think) told me he had sealed up my backside. He had mended a leaking gutter joint at the rear of the house. I politely thanked him then went inside for a giggle!

My DD tripped and fell into a gorse bush when little and asked for some anti-hypnotist cream

My aunty had an alligator in her washing machine. It caused trouble regularly.

Don't you mean Dick, phoenix?

I have written before about my linguistically challenged friend, with her social leopard, house with panasonic views, her belief in mahogany, and glasses that make her look like Dave Haemorrhage .............

That is one of my stumbling blocks too, Bellanonna. I saw 'power for the course' somewhere earlier. Obviously not someone who plays/follows golf
My MiL used to refer to the 'next phrase' of a building development.

I suppose having a temperature comes into that category nonnie.
I confess I have to engage my brain before saying prostate or prostrate

Reminds me of all those people who say they have 'blood pressure' as if they were unique!

The Mongol hordes rampaging throughout your house?
