    Have you swallowed a dictionary ?

    We had a saying when I was little. 'Hey , have you swallered a dictionary or what ?'

    for when someone used big words, or said something clever

    another one was 'yer eyes are bigger than yer belly'

    for when we asked for more food than we could possibly eat

        Yes I see your lot were really thick, like. And probably soft to boot.

          'You'll get the flat or the round'

          that was a threat, meaning you would be slippered, with either the sole or the heel (your choice)

              When Sas was 8 his best friend, 'Buster bumhole', smoked.
              mind you, he was 29 and the local parish priest

                    Almost as old as the jokes in this thread!
