ReplyDeleteWelcome and I hope you liked the post enough to come back
DeleteI still use all of those expressions.. regularly! Except for "getting up someone" which might be a bit vulgar.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah it can sound a bit vulgar I guess, never given it any thought.
DeleteGood ones. I’ve heard St Vincent DePaul referred to as Vinnies here. It’s a mouthful to say the other!
ReplyDeleteAgrreed it has always been just Vinnies for me as well
DeleteThose were all new to me. Other posts I have heard of some of the slang, but not this time!
ReplyDeleteWell now you know some useless sayings
DeleteGood ones today, Jo-Anne. Blessings!
