Stupid Sayings :freak:

curlupanddie · 26th February 2004, 11:49 AM

I was quite recently watching the new Peter Kay Dvd, when one of his jokes was about randomly, extremely stupid sayings. My favourite was "as happy as larry" since quite clearly it is fuckin dumb. Who is Larry?

Come on people, tell me your favourite, ultimately stupid sayings...

'Do you want a slap?'

i read something recently about everyday sayings which technically are now obsolete due to the advancement in technology... for example...

'dialling a number' when very few phones still have dials.

'turn the volume up' when few TV's have knobs. you press a button so you're really pushing the volume up.

if i ever copy a cd for someone i say 'i'll tape it for you' when i'm really burning it... it's the same with DVD recorders, you still say 'taping a programme'

we still refer to songs on CD, Tape etc. as 'tracks'. This term came from vinyl LP's, where each song is/was technically a 'track' on the record'

... anyone say anything else like that?

No, even when i was using tapes I'd say I'd copy it. My favourite daft saying is " Do you want me to give you something to cry about?" Well Duh!

i was watching Billy Connelly the other day and he was talking about strange things his parents used to say such as:

when asking his dad if he could go on his bike, his dad said "Bike!, I'll give you bike"....(but he already had one?!)

or if he asked to go to the pictures his dad said "Pictures! I'll Pictures you ma boy" (how do u Pictures someone?!)

"Ill make you smile on the other side of your face!".....(what?! was he gonna slash him or something?)

and my personal favourite was "Ill take my hand off your face ma boy"....(its the putting on at high speed im sure he didnt enjoy)
