Weird sayings

I was just writing an email to DH and was saying how I needed to hurry up and used the saying 'get a wriggle on' but I am not sure if that is the right words...makes sense to me but I think if I was saying it out loud I would say 'get a rig along'.....does anyone else know this saying and if so which one is it?!?!

What other weirdo sayings to people have? I remember being teased at school about saying something was 'half pie', ie it was 'sort of'....where the heck does half a pie come into it.

Anyway...totally strange ramblings I know, obviously too much time on my hands while breast feeeding hahahahahahaha

Haha - half-assed is weirder, if you think about it!

pepsi - I randomly read where the saying 'half pie' came from last week. Apparently it comes from the word 'pai' which is Maori for 'good' - therefore 'half-good'...all those weird sayings intrigue me

My mum and dad always say "skin the bunny" when they are asking the kids to get their clothes off for the bath - really gross and yuk if you think about it.

LOL mine said "skin the rabbit"... and I often find myself saying it

Haha my family is full of weird sayings........

To name a few:

"Up the buhai to shoot pukeko with a long handled shovel" in response to a question about where you are going. or "up the buhai shooting pukeko with a long handled shovel" if you're asked where you've been

"It's a wigwam for a goose's bridle" for a what's that question.

"Why?! Because Y is a crooked letter and Z is no better."

"What's that got to do with the price of fish?"

"Well, I'll believe you but thousand's wouldn't!"

"Stop that or I'll peg you to the clothesline by your ears and beat you with a wet bus ticket"

"Stop that or I'll rip off your arm and beat you with the sloppy end"

Both of the last two are never said in a very threatening manner BTW



That's all I can think of for now but there are heaps more!

I used to say toddle A LOT, so much so my nickname became toddle for a while. Thank god it didn't stick.

Usually said when we were leaving, Come on, lets toddle!

hehe, some of these I have heard but some are def new to me!

My nana says "Keep your pecker up" of course I think its means something else LOL
But its the same meaning as 'keep ya chin up" or in normal terms, think positive.

My nana is british

My Grandma is full of odd sayings, and one my mum and I have both picked up to describe a mess
'there is stuff from a**hole to breakfast'

Not the nicest saying, but sometimes you say it before realising
