I like the "what's the John Dory?" and "DO the Harry". I might throw that in my vocabulary to see if anyone knows what I am talking about. lol

Yeah I get wanting to toss some sayings into our speech just to see what other think and do they get what we are saying
DeleteGrog is a very useful collective word for different alcoholic drinks, but I never use it for good quality drinks.
