Colloquialisms

[Myles]

If wit was shit you'd be constipated.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.... ( Trojan horse )
Never look a gifthorse in the mouth
Pissed as a newt
Drunk as a lord
Sober as a judge
He doesn't know his arse from his elbow

 

[mapsdnasggeyerg]

Fits just like the cat's ass.
The door is not an asshole it doesn't close by itself.
Crazier than a bag of hammers.

some people in the UK - initially just for a joke - created a lexicon of rude british colloqualisms and called it "Roger's Profanisaurus" (after a foul-mouthed comic book character called Roger Mellie).

It steadily grew through submission from the public, and now contains over 10,000 rude words and phrases.

If swearing was an olympic event we'd win all three medals

Here's another "asshole" one:

"Not even a [profession/trade of choice]'s asshole." Decries a "not-very-good" example.

e.g. "Not even a chippie's asshole, mate." (A "chippie" is a carpenter/joiner. My old man was a chippie, hence the familiarity with "trade lingo".)
