When someone farts "Who stood on a duck?" "Did someone's trousers cough?" Those are quite old school. I still use it but "fill your boots" is an expression that I rarely hear these days. And "I've seen more meat on a butcher's pencil".

- You look like 2 of eels waiting for the mash - someone waiting around doing nothing (I think the 2 of eels was originally 2 pennyworth of eels) - You look like a meat pudding done up for the pot - a fat person into small a size or with a very tight belt round the middle

"Hold onto your hats!" - my Dad as the car span on ice when I was about 3....I said "I haven't got a hat" & he struggled to cope with the wheel & my answer at the same time with gritted teeth while Mum screamed like a pregnant cat.

Don't grimace. If the wind blows you'll look like that forever.

"You can't get many of them in a biscuit tin" which I think (but never grew up to find out) was a reference to a lady with large breasts.
