Here are some Daft sayings from Lil' ol' England

To many (insert word) to shake a stick at

Once in a blue moon

So cold it could freeze the balls off a brass monkey :lol2:

:lol2:* You said DAFT!* :lol2:

We have plenty of "DAFT" sayings here, too!

"Fine as frog hair"
"Colder'n a well-diggers *** in Idaho"

Fog hair? :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Here's another

What Am I Scotch mist???

That's FROG hair, dear, not fog hair! ;)

"I haven't done [insert whatever] since I was knee-high to a grasshopper!"

knee-high to a grasshopper!"


I love that saying aswell - my mum says that :lol2:

And there is always this one:

"I'll yank a knot in your tail"

Save it for Ron -

it means leave it till later

Okay, I am stumped for the moment due to lack of sleep! :lol2: I'll think of more later!

"Colder'n a well-diggers *** in Idaho"


LOL!! I live in Idaho and have never met a well digger!! Also, I have never heard that saying!! Kinda funny though cuz it does get awfully cold here!

I make up my own sayings, so yeah they are really daft

I say Pooey Crumbcakes when something goes wrong
'Great googley moogely' when I think somethings awesome
I saw 'thats hawt' all the time cause of stupid Paris Hilton followers
I say lurve instead of love
Oh man, there are alot of things I say that are weird
Its the curse of being an only child who was homeschooled

CruCherie you're in Texas right? I'll bet you've got TONS of them.

In Rhode Island we don't really have odd sayings, but we do use our own little weird words.

For instance: "cabinet"= thick milkshake; oftened shortened to "cab," (i.e. "I'll have a chocolate cab,
please.")
"bubbler"=drinking founting (often pronounced "bubblah" )
"grinder"=hero or sub sandwich. (I believe other East-Coasters use this term as well, but we pronounce it "grindah" or worse, the plural is "grindiiz")

We have many more but I can't think of them now because my cold medicine is kicking in...
But I LOVE hearing about different sayings and accents in different parts of the country and other countries as well. Hopefully people will keep posting their own local "daft sayings" in this thread. :)

i like to believe that i started the phrase

'for serious'

used in context...

-"sally married scott"

-"for serious?"

-"yeah"

Good Goddard, Ophelia. Perhaps I'm not reading this correctly, but are you from PA?

Mallek, you forgot "go figure". I know how daft you think that is.

"It's colder than a withches tail!" and "Just put the groceries in the boot" thats the trunk of the car and "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"

"It's colder than a withches tail!" and "Just put the groceries in the boot" thats the trunk of the car* and "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"*


what's daft about "Just put the groceries in the boot" I say boot of the car all the time - altough ''groceries'' are pretty funny, coz we say shopping :lol2:

Boot must be english then, because when we say it people look at us mighty funny. But my granny always said it, and I never really knew where she picked it up. Thanks for clearing that up! :laugh:

Pennsylvanians say 'eh' alot sometimes

I think I heard that about canadians.

I live over yonder!

Where the heck is YONDER?? :lol2:

And just had to post this one because it actually just came out of my mouth at work because I can't cuss here:

"That really chaps my hide!"

I say "eh" all the time. I also say "you guys" when referring to any group of people.

Have anyone mentioned "Sick as a dog". I think it's pretty daft.

If someone jumps down your throat for no reason use:
--"Who pee'd in your Wheaties?"

If the boss asks if you can take on yet another task use:

--"I'm busier than a 1 legged cat trying to bury turds on a frozen pond"

If someone asks you a question and the answer is obviously yes, use one of these:

--"Is a pig's a$$ pork"
--"is a 50lb rooster a lot of ....?" (hint: another name for a rooster, also the U of South Carolina mascot...crude, but funny as hell)

There's some great Irish sayings like "May you be dead a half hour before the devil knows it" Also, the saying from Edmund Burke at the bottom of my signature is great. I saw it in that movie Tears of the Sun with Bruce Wiliis
