    “How’re we gonna fuck this pig” is my favorite. Means “how are we going to start this unpleasant task”.

    Fun fact: Saying it at work can net you several funny looks and more!

    “The Man on The Moon couldn’t see that!” (Still not sure what this means) “Tighter than a fish’s pussy” (Self-explanatory) “I was no more good” (I was shocked and surprised/amused) “Hand me that ‘little chicken’ over there, would you?” (Little Chicken replaces any and all nouns)

      I once worked with a Dutch guy who would use the word “dinggus” (pronounced sort of like dingus, but without the emphasis on the g) in place of any English noun he didn’t know. Took me a couple of days to work out that it was a placeholder word and that it could refer to something different every time he used it rather than being a name for a specific thing

    One I learned in the fleet was “…more fucked than a ten cent whore on a day raining dimes.”

    My wife’s old dutch grandma once had a sip of beer and said “it’s like an angel pissing on my tongue”

    Talking about how many children she had “your grandfather would throw his dirty undies at me and I’d get pregnant”

    I have a pretty mild one that I’ve used all my life: “Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.” I said it once to the owner of the company I work for and he thought I meant I wouldn’t do what he’d asked of me, and he got a little upset. I had to explain it meant the opposite. That I had to explain it to him didn’t really ease the angst of the situation…

    I was bewildered regarding shitshow at work and said, “it’s like going around your butthole to get to your elbow” – the californian and the Canadian had apparently never heard this phrase before. I realized then it was a southernism 😂

    Went back home after like a decade and ran into my dad’s old boss from when I was a kid. His southern drawl was pronounced and nasal like a side character in an old western, "Well I ain’t seen you in a coon’s age!

    My dad has a lot from growing up in a small farming community in Kansas:

    “Shakin like a dog shittin prune seeds.”

    “I gotta piss like a race horse.”

    “So dumb you couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel.”
