Me and my sister both have long blonde hair. As teens, it used to get everywhere (mine still does!). When hoovering, our mother could be heard shrieking ‘it’s like living with a pair of bloody Afghan Hounds’!

My most commonly used phrase is probably ‘that bloody cat’, as he’s so incredibly annoying!

What do you say in your house? I can safely say that some dad bloke will utter the words ‘it’s like the Blackpool illuminations in here’!

“Indoor voices” because everyone seems to shout instead of speak to eachother

Just thought of another:

Me as a teen to our parents: ‘who’s your favourite kid’?

Mum and dad: ‘we don’t have favourites, we hate you all equally’.

abruzzo Italy (and UK)

A couple of my mothers favourites from when I still lived at home (so more than 40 years ago!)

‘Don’t stand there like cheese at fourpence, sit down and make yourself look less’ - still to this day I have no idea where the first part of that saying comes from.

‘He’s dead him!’ - whenever watching old tv shows and someone came on that had passed away.

“Cheese at four pence” would have been 4d/lb, so very expensive, and likely nobody would have bought it.
