Do You Use Any Old Fashioned Slang Or Phrases?

" tough life, someone has to live it " " go suck an egg "

 

" oh Lordy, love a duck "

 

" piss and vinegar " " pine float " " after me, you come first " " by cracky " " stick it up where the grass don't grow "

 

Meh-yuhl, kiss my gri-uts.

 

Another version...." stick it up where the sun don't shine "

 

Take a long walk on a short pier.

 

Hi Jerry I've just come back to this thread so a bit late - a stuffed shirt is a pompous, stuck up guy
whereas 'a big girls blouse' means an overly dramatic guy, a whinger

 

Patsy, thanks for the clarification.
I'm now trying to associate a "big girl's blouse" with the definitions I'm getting for a "whinger".

Seems like a bit of a slap at the ladies to me.

 

Not at all Jerry - there are plenty of gals that are whingers and drama queens for no good reason
@Jerry Adams

 

We would use the word "whiner."

"As nouns the difference between whinger and whiner is that whinger is one who whinges while whiner is one who whines."

 

That ticked me @Nancy Hart

 

@Patsy Faye
Since you say so Patsy, I'll agree. But I'm not brave enough or foolish enough to have said that myself.

 

Ha ha @Jerry Adams

 

That actually should be, "off a short pier," however I guess it works either way.
