"Old fashioned" expressions that young people have never heard.

Don't ever refer to a Glory Hole - that has a completely different meaning nowadays

Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs!

Just sitting there - like the Duchess of Buccleugh.
(The genteel version of like Lady Muck )

A fart in a collander.
A tit in a trance.

Bless their little cotton socks.

For people who think themselves a cut above others - Lord & Lady Loobucket.

Lady 'OoFlungDung.

Or in full.. as in "I beg your pardon."

Ah, yes, I hadn't noticed the lack of 'your' in the OP. But I wouldn't have thought it would flummox anyone who had ever heard the expression.

Sadly, I suppose that if these sayings have died out, we are as much to blame as anyone.

That said, I will absolutely not take responsibility for one of my own sons thinking that the expression "If that's what you think, you have another thing coming!" is correct!!!

As children we always had to say, ‘I beg your pardon?’
‘Pardon’ on its own was forbidden!

We were forbidden to say Liar.
Really annoying if you knew the was a liar in your midst.
Fibber didn't sound half so bad.

And with the emphasis on ‘BEG’, to indicate you can’t believe what you’re hearing!

Gertcha!

Charlie’s dead - your petticoat is showing.
Who says petticoat now as well! 😁

Do you remember the song?
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden?

I used to like that song.

I have heard all these phrases. Pinafore dress isn't widely recognised today. My Mum has always said to a mischievous child, "I will snickersneeze you." I picked it up and said it for years until someone at work (I am a primary school teacher) told me they didn't think I should say that because it meant something entirely different to just reprimanding someone.

Rain like stair rods.

I’ll have a pint of jollop.
It’s all my eye and Betty Martin - my nanna used to say that, I never quite understood, I think it was when somebody was trying to flannel her (actually I doubt if my children would know what somebody flanneling you means either)

I'm n

I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking.

I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking.

My Mum used to say that!

They're great, the old sayings.
It will be such a shame when they disappear.

"One eye looking at you, and one looking for you" 🤭

One eye and a whilk.

Let's see what's on the box.

The Wee Boy ( my younger grandson, aged six ) has just lost his two front teeth. I said to him,
Oh, you've been kissing the girls!
and he denied it quite indignantly.

He's never heard that saying before. It was always said jokingly to us as children when we lost our milk teeth. It has obviously died out over the years. Was it a Scottish thing, I wonder?

I've not heard of it before

Snowing down south (petticoat showing).

My father used to speak of going to the quacks ( doctors).
