Nice turns of (a) phrase you've run across

I liked this one. Show me yours!

I’m quite fond of, “I’ll take you out and drop you like 3rd period French.” Casey Affleck said something like this to Scott Caan in “Oceans 11.”

“Smooth as a baby’s bottom”

I like beggining sentences with:

“Everyone and their evil twin from a parellel universe…”

As in, “Everyone and their evil twin from a parrellel universe has been diagnosed with ADD.”

A bit OT but I just heard a funny phrase on top gear

“He was found hanging by his pupils”
(think about it)

“She smiled like a zipper”.

“Boy, I say, boy, you’re about as sharp as a sackfull of wet mice!” – Foghorn Leghorn

Just saw the movie Ray last night, and I heard one that I really liked: “Scratch a liar and find a thief”.

slower than a three legged tortoise.

Off like a robber’s dog

Great line. Great quotable movie.

Ill beat you like a rented mule

I’ll beat you like a red-headed stepchild

She’s been banged more times than a screen door in a hurricane

She been plowed more times than a parking lot in buffalo

She’s as cute as a speckled puppy in a little red wagon.

I know a ton of these but its too early.

My boss seems to have a turn of phrase for just about any situation.

Two of my favourites involve the insulting of our Financial Controller, someone who is generally well liked, but also known for being a “Tightarse”.

  1. XXXX makes a fish’s arsehole look like a 4 lane highway.

  2. XXXX is so tight that he can’t eat strawberry jam because he can’t pass the seeds.

One of my dad’s favorites: Colder than a brass commode on the shady side of an iceberg.

He also likes: Colder than a witch’s t@#$%y.
