What don't you hear anymore?

During a meeting last week, while discussing a problem, the Boss said we've got "Hobson's Choice", I was staggered by the amount of people around the table who didn't know what he meant!

Catch 22!

It doesn't turn white. It is the shite of a dog that has eaten bones so the shite is heavily calcified.

You are right that most people pick it up though.

Mainly US Jewish saying which means the person is thought of as little value or ignored, which I suppose chopped liver is. "

Or What am I, chopped liver?" expression is that chopped liver was traditionally served as a side dish rather than a main course. The phrase, therefore may have originally meant to express a feeling of being overlooked, as a "side dish."

"Long streak of lightening (for a tall person)

Legs that go all the way up to his/her arse (for a leggy tall person)

Pissing in the wind

Pissing it up the Lamppost

Who's "she"? The cats mother?!

Hells teeth

Give me strength

Nose too close to their arse

Doesn't know their arse from their elbow.

I still use all of these infact i use a hell of a lot in this thread...Mam i'm SPECIAL!!! "

Same here ... being a geek, I’ve niticed that ones I say a lot seem to be out of fashion mainly in the south

I’m guessing there are regional variations & differences that would also explain it!

"What am I, chopped liver?

I use this all the time and no one has a bloody clue what I’m talking about!!

Me either

Mainly US Jewish saying which means the person is thought of as little value or ignored, which I suppose chopped liver is.

Or What am I, chopped liver?" expression is that chopped liver was traditionally served as a side dish rather than a main course. The phrase, therefore may have originally meant to express a feeling of being overlooked, as a "side dish."

Courtesy of Wiki"

This exactly. Thanks for saving me the last explanation which I should obviously have included in my original post!!

I’ll still keep on using it though!

Where's all the white dog shit gone.

White dog shit disappeared that long ago that the comment, "where has all the white dog shit gone" is now dying out.

You used to be able to draw on the pavement and whiten plimsolls with that shit.

I worked in a very ‘multi culti’ Office in Luton and during a meeting I said “let’s not throw baby out with the bath water “. Silence, they just didn’t get it . I attempted to explain which just seemed to confuse them even more.

No. My mum said calender. She was referring to me running around the house like a blue-arsed fly (another of her sayungs).

What did your last servant die of?

And when we asked what was for dinner we were often told "poke in the eye with a sharp stick" if we were doing Mami's head in, "bread and dripping" if we were having Chinese.

Tap water was also referred to as council pop.
