Do you know an unusual expletive or saying?

We've all, at one time or another, heard someone utter an exclamatory word or phrase but have never heard the expression before because it's not commonly used... Dig deep in your memory and find the most obscure one you can think of!

I use "frell" a lot; it's an expletive from the TV series Farscape.

I like to "flock" people. Instead of giving the bird (the finger) I give the whole flock (all my fingers). The hand motion usually is accompanied by a verbal "flock you." I like it, cause people don't really get offended by it, but it helps me get out my anger.

Twunt.

Also, from an episode of QI:
Rob Brydon: When I was younger, my father used to say 'hell's bells and buckets of blood.'
Stephen Fry: Ooh, 'hell's bells and buckets of blood.' That's a good one.
[Laughter]
Stephen: I usually just say 'fudge it'.

The most colorful I remember using is telling someone to "go pound sand" (presumably somewhere very dark).

"stick it up your ass with out any lube" Thats when I am really mad. My Grandpa and my Dad, who are both from England, used to always say "bloody" as in bloody hell, which sounded more like bloody ell, or "clean up this bloody mess" everything used to start with bloody. grandpa used to also call everyone a "rat fink" if they made him mad. I miss hearing both of their voices

I like how 'bloody' is one of the softer swearwords. It's the sort of swearword you can say around a teacher or a parent, but it still means something if you see, for example, an injury or something and go 'Bloodyyyy'ell!'

I use "frell" & "frack" occasionally. I picked them up from my son.

frackinack? Just an extention of frak. Extra syllables are more fun to say.

or do you mean tawkolpawkseblasdredibeychigavoon?

I like the line in one of Jimmy Bowskill's blues tune; "I love her 'cause she's as skinny as 6 o'clock!". No reference to brains though.

That sounds so Irish, I heard it before. I like it but it's too long to say when a four letter word will cover it so much more quickly.

(reply to cloudhugger) posted 21-Oct-2007 9:33am  
Heh...i agree that 4 letter words cover the job in a far more effective manner, however...must censor self due to the little people. Be(a)ware of the little people!! * wink *

First time I saw his show he and his friends wrestled a croc. and he said (about the croc.)" Isnt she a beauty?! "And I thought," what?". I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
mrmarm
(reply to ihatespiders) posted 26-Oct-2007 2:31am  
Here some (more older people) describe things as beauties or a beauty, not meaning the definition of the word but more the impressiveness of what is. Like the crocodile was probably huge and because of it's size it was probably a beauty compared to the average size of a crocodile, if you get what I mean?
