Old fashioned expressions you still use.

Oh my toe bone! (when you stub your toe)

My tech savvy 27 year old dd still uses a lovely phrase, ‘Oki Doki’.

Since Line if Duty we all say ‘mother of God’now!

Hark at pan calling kettle black.

This was a lovely trip down memory lane! My parents used to say a lot of these. My mother would say "I can't spit sixpence" when she was dying for a cup of tea. I still use quite a lot of them.

But my parents would also say, "It's cold enough for a pair of reins," which is completely mystifying.

'Nothings bad that could be worse' my Irish mother in laws favourite quote. & another relative from Yorkshire ' I wish I was in bed without the bother'
'Born in a barn ' - 'Behind the door when looks were given out' - 'What you gawping about' from my London born Mum

I still "spend a penny" !

Sloegin I was going to say face like a Lurgan spade, but thought no one would know it ?
Houl your whist (wait)
Close that door, were you born in a field.

Fine words butter no parsnips here.

Oh yes, I remember "By Jove". Father and brothers used to say it a lot. Nice memory.

“I’m going to spend a penny”, no-one knows where the saying comes from these days!

Black as the Ace of spades
Dragged through a hedge backwards
We're you born in a barn
Fur hat and no knickers
Penny wise and pound foolish
No smoke without fire
A blonde moment
Lay down with dogs and get up with fleas
Storm in a teacup
Making a mountain out of a molehill
A person is down and out ie very poor

if you protested as a child: “yes but” this would be countered with : “who’s yes but - the brother of ah but?”

‘Don’t care!” - Don’t care was made to care - put in a pot and boiled his hair!”

“If you don’t ask you don’t get”

“Those who ask don’t get”

When my Grandson does something well I tell him he’s covered his head in glory!

My father 95, said in response to my sister saying she must get on after helping get him washed dressed and breakfasted, ' throats to be cut and wars to be won' !! Turns out his mother used to say it too, and is a quote from Henry 5th Act3 scene2 Shakespeare!

His self not his head!

When DH serves up his weekly stir fry he always says to me ‘Put on your bib and tucker’ knowing I can be a bit messy. ?

When I trip over or make a mistake I say a man’s name (which I can’t remember). I’ve used the name for years. Can you remember it please ?

Gordon Bennett?

At the end of a meal: “Please may I leave the table?”

You had to say it even tho you knew that what was coming next was:

“Well you can’t take it with you!”

Up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire. ??

She favvers she's dropped off a flitting - untidy woman

Put wood in t'hole -shut the door

When I was a child my mother would refer to us children as needing a “cats lick” (a wash) before we went to bed each night. My own children hated the phrase!

The boy stood on the burning deck
Blistering in the heat
His eyes were full of tears
And his boots were full of feet

I use:
Wreck of the Hesparus
Aike back of Arum, where they shoo pigs wi steam (pure East Yorkshire)
Crikey

My mil used to say “ why’re you sitting there like Piffy on a balm cake?”

I knew what she meant but had no idea where the saying came from.

Any ideas?

My mum used to say “ Up Wooden Hill and down Sheet Lane” when it was bedtime,
