Phrases and expressions that make you chuckle

Uppercut · 20-02-2009, 11:50 AM

Inspired by Brumby's signature, Mike Selvey describing Ian Bell as "having a mentality so flabby it may require liposuction." Those little words and phrases slipped casually into pieces of writing or conversation that crack me up. Others include:

"...members of the tax-dodging fraternity..." - Brumby himself on students

"Shark Biscuit" - General term for a person bad at surfing

"...could lower the tone of a spitting contest..." - Used to describe Allen Stanford immediately after the players wives fiasco

Do post any such phrases you've encountered on your travels.

Vaguely rude synonyms always make me smile.

-Like a French kiss at a family reunion. (unwelcome)

-If I fell in a bucket of tits I'd come out sucking my thumb (I'm unlucky)

-Like pushing poo uphill (impossible and/or pointless)

- I felt like a spare prick at an orgy (my presence wasn'y strictly necessary)

Haha, or "as popular as a fart in a spacesuit".

Although given the incidences of 13 year old alleged fathers, I don't think thats quite appicable nowadays.

Remember something similiar being used to describe Henman.

Pretty sure "He couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo, this fella" or something is in the ICC Computer game. (Y)
