Unusual but common sayings

[MalloryHartevelt]

Not entirely sure what these sayings are, but generally we use them and i would really like to know more. For example: cool beans.
I hope you get what i mean

 

[SharPhoe]

I tend to use "It makes me no nevermind" in place of "It doesn't make a difference to me" quite often. Along with things such as "Be that as it may" or "Unbeknownst to me".
Yeah, I like to sound smarter than I really am.

[Loop Stricken]

The American phrase, "I could care less" when compared to the British variant, "I couldn't care less".

Bear in mind these are said when you don't care about the topic. Which makes more sense?

i tend to use the Saying "I'm cream crackered" instead of saying i'm knackered (Tried). no idea why.

 

[Tharwen]

'Never mind.'

IT MAKES NO SENSE

Because you're not allowed to swear around your parents, presumably.

'Never mind.'

IT MAKES NO SENSE

Of course it does, it's pretty much a contraction of "Never let it cross your mind, as in "pay it no heed" and so forth.

 

[Kodlak]

'Pull the other one, it has bells on.' No idea where this come from but still a good saying.

Isn't it glorious?

"....Am I dead?
Who are you, have I joined a cult?"

you sir, have put me in the mood for a bit of dylan moran.
except it's midnight.
damnit.

actually, on second thoughts. i'll be up til past 1am anyway. I'm going to go watch Totally Live or black books if I can find the boxset!

you have my eternal respect because dylan moran is basically god if god was real and was just a tad drunk 24/7 and anyone who likes him, is a friend of mine! ;D



OT: "i was oot ma wee tree" & "i was mad wae it" instead of "i was drunk".
I have no idea where those two came from but everyone says it around here.

I was actually just thinking that.

"all of the sudden"

WHAT?

 

[Loop Stricken]

Well, it's on the same level as git and arse as far as I'm concerned. Mind you, I swear like an angry sailor much of the time but I refrain from anything mildly objectionable around family.

I've always said "I couldn't care less." I'm American.
