A distant cousin of the stupid sayings thread

About 15 years ago i worked for this American fellow, who was about 60.

Whenever it got cold he'd say "st, it's a bit Pearl Harbour out there"






( "There's a bit of a nip in the air" )

I've reported myself for sexism.

An amusing saying I've always liked is the description of a somewhat unattractive sort, as having a face like a bag of smashed crabs.

A rather fragrant person can be referred to as smelling like a warewolfs towel.

Black Adder favourite; wetter than a haddock's bathing costume.

My ex wife cited my use of that phrase in refering to her mother at our counselling sessions.
