Old Sayings

Do you want to talk about your beautiful country, family, or dog? Would you like to say where you went on holiday or how you arranged the garden? Are you willing to tell us you girlfriend left you for a(nother) loser? Do you have ANY non knife-related topic you want to discuss? This is the place!

One I always liked was one from Satchel Paige, probably the greatest baseball pitcher ever :!:
If you don't pray when the sun is shining then don't pray when it rains.

"Give out" = to be tired
"Slam wore out" = to be extremely tired
"Come up a cloud and fell a flood" = typically used to describe a Summer thunderstorm having a rapid onset and accompanying heavy rain
"might could" = it is possible that...

Jim
I have heard those. Another similar one-
"Plum tuckered out"

I like the slang some of my friends in England says.

For "shut up" they say "belt up"
For "anyway" it's "any road"
Lots of slang for being or getting drunk-
"p*ssed"
"bladdered"
"boiled as an owl"
"Take a tumble down the gravel" Not sure but I think it means walking home drunk.
There were so many I forgot them all but the one thing I heard several of my Brit friends say was "brill"
Seems if they really like something or if I said something funny they would say "that's brill"
