I can’t find an existing thread for something like this, although I could swear that I saw one months ago!

Have you got any funny/odd/strange phrases that you’ve heard people use?
I’ve heard a few lately that made me laugh and had to share!

“If brains were gunpowder, he wouldn’t have enough to part his hair.”

“He’s 5 cans short of a six pack.”

“He was acting like Barry Big Lips on the phone.”

“When I made my first chapatti it looked like Superman’s underpants.”

Does anyone else have any daft comments that have made them laugh recently?
 
"Christ on a bike" makes me chuckle. (English is not my language).

My grandads fave saying was (if someone farted)
"Merryest are the lips that speaketh without the tongue"

One I heard a few years ago at work 'He's about as useful as the 'g' in Lasagne'.
I know its a bit old now but it made me laugh at the time.

Also, not a funny phrase as such but I was listening to eminem yesterday and my four year old made me laugh when he said 'That noise is breaking my ears'

When you can see a storm is coming: ‘It’s black over Bills mothers’

When you hear a piece of shocking news: ‘Well, I’ll go to the foot of our stairs!’

My favourite from round where I live. If you say something and someone thinks what you’ve said is crazy, they’ll look at you ‘gone out’. For example ‘I said to him, I thought Donald Trump was brilliant as president. He looked at me gone out!’

Scousers often say “See you after.” ( translates as as “See you soon.” or “See you later.”)

Whenever I hear someone say it I want to shout “See you after WHAT??” Eh? Finish your sentence you twit. I know; my anger on this matter is entirely irrational!

I feel better for getting that off my chest; sorry scousers 😅
