As daft as a brush! What’s it mean brushes are useful

Not very good at critical thinking though, are they?

‘I could care less’

That’s just a mangling of ‘couldn’t care less’ though which does make sense.

As daft as a brush!

You have to be pretty daft to climb up a chimney to clean it out.

I’m just going to turn my bike around

As daft as a ‘box of frogs/lighthouse cat/ships cat’

As black as Newgates knocker was a common saying in my house when I was little, especially when I came in covered in shite.

But for years I thought it was “as black as nookas knockers”
And I thought nooka was a black sort with cracking norks. 😀

Last year I was chatting to an old lady down the road and she came up with a cracker: –

Her “In africa there is a saying, ‘Never start to wash your elephant in the afternoon'”
Me “I … um”

Meaning of course, don’t leave anything important to the last minute. So now when I CBA with anything I just say “Elephants!” 😀

Seen in a recipe – ‘Leftover wine’.

Eh?
