sewhappy Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 We did the phrases that bug us - Now what is your favorite phrase to describe someone who is not... um... shall we say "thinking clearly"? You know, for example "she's one brick short of a full load" etc. My all time (so far) favorite is "Someone blew out her pilot light":P:P:P:P:P What's yours???? The reason I ask is we had a lady in the store that ...well...was not exactly "The brightest crayon in the box"!! and of course that led to quite a bit of laughter later!! We would never laugh AT someone right?? Just With them later!!:P:P Sewhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrat Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Sue, Your last one is my favorite. The first time I heard it was from my son, he called and asked what I was doing and I told him quilting (imagine that) and his response was "How's that workn' out for ya" Now I use it a lot.

hollyc Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 If insight was lard, I couldn't grease a skillet. Funny as a rubber crutch Two bricks short of a full load The elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. Dingy as a wooden watch Too bad ignorance isn't painful...a sentiment I felt quite often when working in the ER and all the stupid things that came in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 "She's not running on all four pistons." "She's missing a few screws." "She's lost her marbles." "I'll bet she's really a blonde disguised as a redhead."(Sorry Sue...had to say it!) On the subject of funny sayings, here's my Favorite Saying - My mom taught me this when I was a kid, and believe it or not, I can even say it (better) when I've had a couple of glasses of wine! Mocking the very popular nursery rhyme: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" Starkle Starkle, Little Twink, Who the heck you are? I think! I'm not under the alcofluence of incohol, But a lot if thinkle peep I is! The end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanne.Hughes Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 We have a couple of phrases we use at work: About as useful as T*ts on a Bull. The lights are on but no-one is home. Thick as a Brick. And when I do something not quite clever enough........ "You hit the jackpot........... I am a natural Blonde." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiltFaerie Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Let's see... Not the brightest bulb on the marquee (just read that about a morning newscaster who is no longer employed by the station). Not working with both oars in the water. Their bread is still doughy in the center. The wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead. Nice house, but no one is home. Like lipstick on a pig. And last but not least... Is a frog's @ss water tight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
