Well, you see, my younger sister is the Antichrist, and she has an awful lot of prophetic inertia behind that feminine physique, girlish wrists and skinny arms (AND TENTACLES! OH MY GOD, THE TENTACLES!). She hits like the End Of The World, and her aim is fairly accurate too.

Never mistake an aphorism for a truism, hey, Steve?

Okay, a favourite colloquialism, in an effort to stay on-topic...

It's like trying to shove a pound of butter up a parrot's arse with a hot needle.

Cheers,
Marc

Hmm, MR colloquialism:

NatCh's spleen: phrase used on MR to beg-off from humorous threads lest the jocularity cause an important organ in the named member's hematopoietic system become inflamed and engorged and spasmodic to such a degree that it leaps forth from his chest and runs into the bowels of this spaceship to transform itself into the ultimate killing machine.


Remember folks, bursting NatCh's spleen is bad karma. It'll come back to eat your face twice in one bite(s), with much gnashing of teeth and acid-washing of your jeans, and acid-wash jeans are so last-milieu.

Cheers,
Marc (Fashion Guru to the Damned)

In Texas, well certain parts of it anyway, the expression "... than/like/as a big dog" is used quite a lot. I worked with a guy who used it almost constantly. At one point I tried to catalog all the things that a "big dog" was or was like:

Rainin' like a big dog
Hotter than a big dog
Ugly as a big dog
Runnin' like a big dog
....

Eventually I gave up: ran out of paper you know.
It (fill in what it is) runs like a spotted-ass ape.
