Okay I am driving Mr mad as I tend to use sayings like this one which he says he has never heard of...

"Soft as butter".... apparently in Yorkshire its "Soft as Shit"...

Are there any other variations of this... or other sayings that have a North/south Divide.

I've heard of all of those. She didn't make them up.

I use "odd fish" to describe some people - he's an odd fish.

Less of a saying, more an exhortation, but I've always been fond of haddaway and shite. Gets used a lot in my office.

My husband has picked up some weird ones from working with teenagers. "Try a bag of nee chance" is one I've caught too.

We say "soft as balm" for people of a nice disposition while "soft as shit" is confined for cowards and people incapable of standing their ground.

My Granddad, instead of 'well I never' would say 'well I'll go to the foot of our stairs'. As a somewhat literally minded child this confused me as he lived in a bungalo.

However, in the spirit of investigation and having a curious mind I do remember standing at the bottom of our stairs at home and deciding that it wasn't a particularly surprising experience. (once a geek, always a geek)

My Grandad used to say - have you seen tup over yon tump. Which translated as - have you see sheep over that hill. My friends could never understand half of what he said. I could though.
