Q is for Questions- the kind that don't really need answers... the rhetorical kind.
Who clipped your ears and made you skipper? - what you're really saying - What makes you think you're the boss!
What are ya after doin' now? - what you're really saying - Somethings wrong and you did it!
Don't think I got either mouth on me? - what you're really saying - You got food for yourself, but forget about getting some for me!
Are you catching flies? -what you're really saying - Close your mouth, you looks stupid!
Last one is funny!
ReplyDeleteWe always use the line from MST3K that refers to someone who is downer - "Who died and made you Droopy?"
droopy - I'll try to remember that
DeleteWe always got, "close your mouth, there's flies".
ReplyDeletethere are always flies :)
DeleteOh we say catching flies, too :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! One of my friends from Maine used the catching flies one.
ReplyDelete:) did you close your mouth LOL
DeleteThat second one sounds familiar, but for some reason I'm hearing it in more of an Irish accent. :)
ReplyDeletethere is a little bit of an Irish twang on the NL accent
DeleteI'ts been awhile since I heard someone say the fly one
ReplyDeleteother option - shut your gob :)
DeleteLove these quotes, and there actual meaning.. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete:) glad you like them
DeleteLove your graphic, little green man. The only one of those questions I've ever heard of is the last...people do look stupid with their mouths open. Sometimes I see people driving their cars that way and wonder if they get all dried out and thirsty.
ReplyDeleteA-Z
I dies watching people driving - there is some funny stuff going on in cars
DeleteThe second one, "What are ya after doin' now?" is definitely Irish in tone.
ReplyDelete:) a little bit
DeleteI loved the skipper one, primarily because the minute I read it I knew what it meant and laughed out loud. I love all of these phrases Bay Girl and would love to use them too!
ReplyDeleteuse them all you want :)
DeleteThanks for the translations, and nice to meet you Bay Girl! :)
ReplyDeletenice to meet you too :)
DeleteThese are some great quotes. The 2nd one, for some reason, I hear Gordon pinsent saying this...maybe I heard him say this in a movie-these are great-I love these sayings!
ReplyDeleteGordon Pinsent chances are has said them all - but his accent is pretty washed off
