That one doesn't translate into American English--at least for me!<BR/><BR/>One of my MOST favorite phrases--that has nothing to do with being called on the carpet--is: "Fixin' to." Like, "OK, I'm fixin' to get ready." Or, "I'm fixin' to take out the trash." It's a lovely side-step from acknowledging one's tendency to procrastinate, and I hate to admit it in public and all, but I'm a procrastinator. But, I AM fixin' to get started on some of the things I really need to do today." ;-}Pencil Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754663050624125557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-90326839784943205692008-06-23T18:12:00.000+10:002008-06-23T18:12:00.000+10:00How about, "That would make a preacher cuss."How about, "That would make a preacher cuss."Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-65491785012302069292008-06-23T16:09:00.000+10:002008-06-23T16:09:00.000+10:00Oh... you need to add the remainder of that phrase...Oh... you need to add the remainder of that phrase that the less-couth members of the family use (me for example):<BR/><BR/>"Wouldn't that rip you!"<BR/><BR/>or my personal favourite:<BR/><BR/>"Wouldn't that... tear the fork clean out of your nightie".<BR/><BR/>BBBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985371070644061676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-48947448252530257922008-06-23T14:22:00.000+10:002008-06-23T14:22:00.000+10:00A favourite of my Dad's is "It's not worth a knob ...A favourite of my Dad's is "It's not worth a knob of goat's shyte" lol.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887495757366973130noreply@blogger.com
