Given that it’s three days away from the end of the month, I realise I could or should have posted this earlier in the month. Gah, what does it matter? As long as it gets shunted into February thats all that matters.
Here we are then, back to take on another batch of future zingers (not fingers, spellcheck) for the human race. Who knows, in a few years time one of these phrases might be doing the rounds. And where did it originate? Right here, baby, where all the action’s going down. Yeah.
Another five efforts to moisturise your eyes, your minds and your pockets (?):
- I’m going to tell you what I told Eamonn Holmes, <insert anything> – I still stand by this, it’s a superb expression and soon will have its day in the sun
- Gosh golly grapefruit! – an exclamation to express shock or surprise. Might be a bit too middle class
- Out the way, grandad, I’ve got bitches to feed – a work in progress
- Suck my magenta, and then some – could be an insult but also could be misconstrued as a sign off for some hip home decorating TV programme (although you’d never catch Anna Ryder Richardson spouting language like that)
- Life has so many pieces, like a jigsaw. Make sure the box you have is big enough to hold all of them – wistful, knowing, definitely feels as though it should be up on a wall with, ‘Live Laugh Love’
A middling series of musings thats for sure.
I er promise I’ll try harder next time.

I appreciate all the work you’re putting into this. Let me tell you where I am.
1. In all the years you’ve been using this I haven’t warmed to it and I’m not warming to it now.
2. Would work well in a sort of slapstick farce set in the Deep South.
3. Yes. YES. This is perfect as it is. The best of the lot. Cease development work and start shipping immediately.
4. A swing and a miss. They can’t all be winners.
5. Promising but too wordy. Needs subbing down to a tight five or six words.
I can’t believe you’re still not on board with my Eamonn Holmes catchphrase. After all these years.
Shocking.
It can go in whichever bin “sweet Petunia” landed in.
That’s still a goer. You can’t stop her, she’s got a life of her own now.
You hate everything I ever come up with, apart from stretchy pyjama pants and they’re not even my invention.
That’s not true. At the present time I am unable to think of any examples that would disprove it but it’s definitely not true.
That’s ALMOST a good argument. Well done.
