This made me smile this morning - NB, not for any more Proper GNers

I love it!!

Love it. Mouse bottomed sounds so much more genteel. One doesn’t want to be common.

I’m TT but ?

For years in my family, we say “unnecessary “ e.g. when someone is going for a night out, don’t get unnecessary.
This may have been for young and tender ears.

I was just thinking the same.

Mouse-bummed. That's brilliant.

I thought it was funny and so did my son.

Brilliant ???

Made me smile

My GD1 is 9 today. What a pity she's too young for me to suggest it to her!

There's a website called Phrase Finder that gives this explanation to the expression, rat-arsed:
"This addition to the myriad terms for being drunk entered the language in Britain in the 1990s. It is sometimes shortened just to 'ratted'. It is a follow-on to the earlier phrase 'as p*ss*d as a rat'. There wasn't any particular reason to pick on rats, the choice seems almost arbitrary. Other creatures which have been used in similar phrases are newts, ticks, skunks - even lords:
As drunk as a lord. As drunk as a skunk. As p*ss*d as a newt.
As tight as a tick.

My late mother-in-law hated any crudeness in spoken language. She had to laugh though when her oldest daughter had embarrassing flatulence caused by baby movement in late pregnancy and I referred to it as: Botty Burps.

I saw a great card once which said "Meet me under the Christmas tree" inside said "and I'll kiss you under the balls"!

Made me chuckle Witzend

Callistemon Drunk as a skunk?>?

Mouse-bummed!

In Ireland some people get blootered.

Thank you Witzend.

Rats, mice, newts, skunks

Nature is full of drunken animals!

I once watched one of David Attenborough’s fabulous documentaries from somewhere in Africa. Fermented fruit had fallen to the ground and the animals had certainly partied on it. Staggering giraffes and chimps with head in hands. Definitely well mouse-bottomed. It was hilarious. Does anyone else remember it?

Oh yes! I'd forgotten it until you said.

I remember that. It was fantastic.

Here it is for those who have never seen it or just want to enjoy it again.

Thanks Vampirequeen, so funny but the morning after without a sachet of Resolve must have been painful?

DH has a pair of boxers with two Christmas baubles on them and the text, "Will you jingle my balls?"

It's all right, we are married to each other!
