Posted: 4/2/2007 5:43:44 AM | ^^^They could be some type of Confucious or Buddhist sayings that somehow got lost in the translation.
The potato face thingy could be some sort of subliminal recollection of a bad childhood experience with Mr Potato Head.
You didn't nuke your Mr Potato Head did you Sarah?
I know I was pretty mean to mine. | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 5:55:14 AM | Is that why he threatened to lock you in the wardrobe all those years.
Least he was kind, a wardrobe is so much bigger than a cupboard, lol | |

Used this one in a message to someone last night and it really baffled the Egghead.
I always understood it to mean that you will see them in the mix of life. But i'm not sure if I'm right. Anyone else who has heard this saying and knows it's true meaning can you please fill in myself and the Egghead. | |

Posted: 4/3/2007 2:08:18 AM | lol sarah, your parents had some very choice sayings...
Another one my Mum said was "he who laughs last laughs longest" and "no prize for second" ... we used to think these were hysterical for some reason and we used to say "no prize for first either" and be rolling about laughing ... although in hindsight that doesn't seem very funny does it really? | |

Even though I hate to admit it, they are.
You can't help laughing eventually...

Posted: 4/3/2007 2:33:54 AM | | My son does that too Sarah, I remember guys at school doing that when I was at school and I used to be really impressed by it, still am actually cos I can't do it myself. I can sometimes do a little one with my hands squeezing together. | |

Posted: 4/3/2007 3:18:25 AM | My Dad had a couple of fav`s
when something broke or wasn`t workin right it was "as useless as tits on a bull"
"one boy`s a boy, 2 boy`s are half a boy, 3 boy`s are no boy at all"
My mum`s fav was "i hope you have a bunch of kids just like you" | |

That's pretty funny kama82. As a parent now I can appreciate that sort of comment.

Posted: 4/3/2007 4:15:04 PM | People were obsessed with keeping doors shut in my house as a kid, so it was always "Were you born in a tent?" (like I'd know!) or "Put some wood in the hole will you" (huh?). Mind you, cold winters in NZ and having to rely on the open fires for heat, I can see where they were coming from - now.
My Kiwi stepfather has some sayings I've never heard elsewhere, so maybe theres a subtle difference between here and there. Or maybe the difference is the rural/farming thing instead, but I think some of these are pretty coarse:
"Slippery as a shithouse rat" (still not 100% sure on this one - think it's self explanatory though)
"If he fell down the shithouse he'd come up with gold teeth" (meaning, he was bemoaning the fact that someone else had better luck than him)!
"What did your last servant die of" (ideal reply: "answering back - so shutup" - but only in my dreams, I wasn't a fast enough runner to pull that one off).
"I wouldn't take you to a dogfight" (um - I think this one means behave yourself, you're not fit to go out in public.)
And I was always highly amused by the way he spoke to the working dogs on the farm, in an affectionately abusive way. Think it explains a great deal about the way I talk to my cats, my kids, and people I love in general  | |
