"He/she has a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp!"
Or, I have heard my wife say, when exppressing her randyness.......
"It's biting my leg!"
Or, if someone has a miserable face.......
"He/she has a face like a bag of smacked twats!"

An unusual, but popular saying in the north of England for someone who is ugly is.........
"He/she has a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp!" Or, I have heard my wife say, when exppressing her randyness....... "It's biting my leg!" Or, if someone has a miserable face....... "He/she has a face like a bag of smacked twats!" |

Welcome back Flossy - unless you were never actually away and I just kept missing you.
X-D, I must use the "bag of smacked twats" as much as I can. |

Been exrtemely busy of late what with organising a rock festival in the middle of my local town and changing the singer in my band and being ill with flu and re-entering the labour party to fight the new Brown tendency and getting ready to go on holiday next week and trying to find work and a bit of eating and breathing in between!
But still, musn't complain! |

One of my all time favorites, was a quote from Stephen himself on the Parkinson Show.
I’m writing this from memory, but this was the general gist of the conversation. Michael Parkinson (To Larry Hagman): “Actually Larry you have an interesting story about how you started smoking.” Larry Hagman (Reluctantly): “Mmm. Yes !” Michael Parkinson: “Would you perhaps like to tell us about it ?” Larry Hagman (Sheepishly): “Not really. But I guess I’m going to have to. Oh well, when I was at school a girl I liked said that if I smoked a cigarette, I could put my hand on her breast. (laughter) I smoked for 20 years after that.” Stephen Fry (as quick as a flash): “Ah.. So you became a thirty breast a day man.” A quote I remember to this day. Anyway, catch yas. Pete |

I always refer to a lady toyshop owner as Mrs Drop- pie to my kids.
Reason being every time you see her she never smiles. She has a face like a dropped pie. When encountering an angry menopausal woman at work one day my boss came to me to complain about her. I replied that "she aught to up her HRT before being unleashed on the public". Sound familiar folks there is always one we know isn't there? |

There are many sayings in regional Scottish dialects that i've heard over the years which have brought a smile to my face; if not because they're funny, because of their quaintness.
awa in bile yer heid! yer nae a' that an a bag o' tatties! - translation of 'you aint all that and a bag of potato chips!' Get thee away ta' fuck! Yer breeks are fa 'in doon - your trousers are falling down. There's also a line from that eminent scottish poet William Topaz Mcgonagall, in one of his poems, which i've always found quite amusing: On yonder brae there stood a coo It must hae goan cos it's no there noo |

I heard a guy on the radio last night talking about aphorisms: you can play what I heard on this page since NPR does such a nice job of their web site.
I'm not at all sure that I ever realize that there's a difference between an aphorism, a platitude, and a proverb. I probably picked up a subtle distinction just from context, but if someone asked me to explain, I probably couldn't. The guy they had on also has worked on classifying types of aphorisms.The only type he mentioned was, if I remember right, something like "chiasm" which leads me to find chiasmus. Yeah, that was basically it - reversing something in a clever way. His example was Mae West's saying: "It's not the man in your life, it's the life in your man." |

The secret of success is sincerity: if you can fake that, you've got it made.
