"When the sh!t's been shat"

Meaning - You can't do anything about it now, it's already happened.

Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.

'Sometimes you have to kiss an ass before you can kick it'.

Any thoughts ?

…that a pig would get stuck in a narrow alley so saying someone is hopeless at something or generally hopeless…?…

Nice try ... it’s a tad simpler.

It’s a term for someone who’s bow legged

People won't always tell you who they are, but sooner or later they'll show you.

In east London, it was he couldn't stop a pig in a passage.

Throw me to the wolves and I shall return leading the pack

Nice variation ... guess it depends what you call a back street / alley ... in your area

Haud yer wheesht!

"Whit's fur ye'll no go by ye"

Used ALL THE TIME by old gamblers trying to make themselves feel better about a loss. It essentially means, if you're "meant" to have something, it'll happen... like Baby Jesus or The Universe makes sure it all goes to plan or something. It normally goes like this:

*lose £200*

"Noooo!! **** sake!! Away tae ****!! Load of absolute PISH!!! ... :bawling: .... :bawling: :bawling: ..... .... .sniffle... .... ...... ahh well..... whit's fur ye'll no go by ye..."


I don't believe in fate and all that nonsense myself but it's a phrase that always made me chuckle.

I prefer to walk with a friend in the dark than to be alone in the light.

:laugh: I like that one


I always thought this one was pretty spot on :

Bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die

Or as normal people say "What's for you won't go by you" that's a favourite of my mothers along with "A dumb Priest never gets a Parish" (how Irish catholic is that one) :laugh:

"Ding dong the witch is dead!"

I am not! :oh:

Alive and kicking, we love to see it :dance:

It's enough and effective to me.
