"Thumb in bum and mind in neutral" a comment my Horticulture teacher would use for any kids that were day dreaming

[mrdinkle]

I actually used this referring to myself in another thread and then realised it should be on here:

Short arms, long pockets

For those who do not like parting with money

[Flummery]

A colleague from years back used to say of anyone who'd done anything reprehensible, "He's lower than a rattlesnake's belly in a waggon-wheel rut." That really sums up some people, doesn't it?

[Flummery]

Another phrase that a friend uses when pleased - "I was laughing tea-cakes!"

Hopefully not up the creek without a paddle!!

And a couple of Churchill quotes, quite relevant in present circumstances methinx,

There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

"You can't polish a turd"

The ultimate condescending remark.

You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter!

[vixfinn]

You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter!

i.e. Making a silk purse out of a sows ear!

[its hilly]

when laughed at for talking to yourself 'its the only way to get an intelligent conversation in here'
Or 'if I'm talking to myself don't worry, if I start to answer..panic'
on salesmen 'if they worked as fast as they talk we'd all be redundant'

[taff]

Face like a painters radio - someone with unfortunate skin wearing a lot of foundation...
Tighter than a ducks arse
They could eat an apple through a tennis racket - someone with unfortunate teeth
If they a brain cell they'd be dangerous

[bobleponge]

"La salle de sport est en peinture," made me smile, not because its particularly funny but because we use a very similar phrase in the UK.
