Sheriff Spud

I have two:
"You B4stard!"
and:
"He's queerer than a cod on stilts."

Talking about someone acting stupid" Brains of a rocking horse"

Sorry Rob... but "mad as a badger" is a common one in this household :D

I like:

"You complete and utter tw*t/fool" Depends who it was!!

"It was soooo hilarious!!"

"Hang on a minute" (which usually ends up being 10 minutes every minute I say!!)

I can't think of any more!! I like laughing alot and I have a habit of putting !!!!! at the end of every sentence!!

Mine at the moment are:

Chuffing Dweeb
Rare as rocking horse shit
Thrupence sort of Sixpence
and an old fashioned yorkshire "Aye"

Thats a great one!! lol!!

If that guys brains were dynamite, he'd explode 8O

As queer as a bottle of crisps.
I will not tolerate that.
I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
What doing?
Oh Betty Swollocks.
Sod this for a packet of biscuits.

I'm always saying "I'm afraid not" *I'm a frayed knot* when I'm on the phone at work

No, but it's the punch line to a corny joke but we can't remember the joke

Louise

:twisted: Here's a few more for you Chris.
(taken from a groovy book called Latin For All Occasions by Henry Beard)

Podex perfectus es = You are a total asshole.

De stella Martis vere venisti = You are deffinatly from Mars.

Stercorum pro cerebro habes = You have shit for brains.

Caput tuumin ano est = You have your head up your ass.



And one more for Patricia as it's her fav insult :mrgreen:

Futue te ipsum et caballum tuum = Screw you and the horse you rode in on.

I am so glad I am not the only person who bought that book!!!!

I have no idea why, but i feel i cna sleep better knowing that I know when to say "Mescha Mobilis" (sp?) to someone!!

PS> Gonna regret this but shouldn't the quote for pat have Equus in it?? Equus being latin for horse!!

This book sound rather amazingly funny! Does any soul know where i can buy it from?? :lol:

You called?

My fave:

Smile and the world smiles with you.
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you.
fart and your on your own.

My fave expression at moment is - Smile, it makes people wonder what you have been up to :wink:

Thanx Mousie - I guess I can say it in english 'cause everyone speaks french around! ;)
But Chris is right... where did the 'Equus' go? 8O


Patricia

Latin For All Occasions by Henry Beard.It was produced for a chain store that sells reproduction antiques (that's the only way I can describe it) called Past Times.There are a couple of different volumes.The one I have (Vol 1) is a dark green colour.

It's not the most useful book in the world, but I find it quite funny learning how to order a bag of gummy bears, curse your computer, cheer on your fav sports team, or rob a bank in Latin :mrgreen: .

For instance, An all purpose stick up note...

Catapultum habeo.Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.

"I have a catapult.Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head."

:twisted: I guess it got screwed :lmao:
But seriously, I have no idea 8O .The book I get this stuff from is basically a lot of expressions with the translations.My Latin is basically non existant :wink: (My greatest acheivment,being late to meet some friends and saying in Latin I was abducted by aliens, what year is it?), but the book itself was written by a guy who spent 8 years studying Latin, and then the text was checked by two classical scholars, so I don't doubt the actual wording.It could include a one word phrase for "your horse" or be a slang word for horse :wink:

Or more obsviously: caballum = horse ? :roll:


Patricia

Sorry my mistake!!!

Caballum means horse as in a pack horse or an old nag.

I was looking for Equus which means horse int he sense of a war-horse such as a cavalry man would ride!!

Oh well - Nunc est bibendum

:twisted: Latin's a dead language.
As dead as dead can be.
It killed off all the Romans.
And now it's killing me.

:mrgreen:
