Baby monkey, baby monkey
Riding on a pig, baby monkey.

Baby monkey, baby monkey
Backwards on a pig, baby monkey.

The world has gone insane, and you don't know what is right.
You've got to keep on 'keeping on'.
Get on that pig and hold on tight, -ight!

Baby monkey, baby monkey
Backwards on a pig, baby monkey.

Baby monkey, baby monkey
Going backwards on a pig, baby monkey.

not so much a saying as a mantra, often also a lullaby for the youngest member of the yunki family

When asked for an opinion about something that's utter rubbish, starts looking around on the floor, in drawers, etc., and when asked what you're doing, reply; "looking for the rat's ass I couldn't give"
My favourite description for someone who's completely nuts; "mad as a bag of owls"
One of my favourite ways of telling someone to get lost, courtesy of William Gibson, author; "go lick a dog's ass 'til it bleeds!"

Mrs SP uses this quote from Alice in Wonderland when she knows someone is talking bollox (usually me)

"It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards"

Stops them dead in their tracks. I've never seen it fail

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

Shit you mean?
Err, yes. I assumed you wouldn't be allowed to use that word here. Isn't there a filter or something?

Sorry if I came across as prudish. I feel like a bit of a * for doing that.

EDIT: I didn't imagine the filter then, just overestimated its shame setting. Mother *!

I am with you on this one 😆

@ toxicsoks - I like that.

My old man used say "Try this son, that'll put a chest on yer back!" usually when he was road testing his latest Horseradish sauce or some other Character building experience - in his opinion.

Or "Bob's yer Aunty Mary, on a Saturday night.."

[i]"stoop if the roof is low"[/i] - sometimes we need humility..

[i]"If my auntie had bollock$ she'd be my uncle"[/i] - for those 'if this was that' situations!

I like [i]"I've got hairy baws, not crystal baws"[/i] - I wonder if I can get that into a consultation this afternoon....

It's interesting that all the "sayings" on this thread that refer to people who are "ugly", are all directed at women.

I wonder why that is.

I wonder why that is.

Because males of the species are generally rated on things other than aesthetics. Or in other words, men are generally intrinsically ugly/hairy/smelly.

"You are so mercifully free of the ravages on intelligence"

I am not as green as I am cabbage looking.

A favorite from the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy was...

The difference between something that might go wrong and something that cannot possibly go wrong is that when the thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it will be impossible to get at or fix.

Or words to that effect.

"like a dick in a shirt sleeve" when referring to something particularly loose or ill fitting.
