TYAFANS 26 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 "Because I said so" "When you move out you can do what you want, until then you follow our rules" "It can't be done" - my reply - just watch me. "Keep it up and you're gonna catch it" "Don't make me stop this car" "We don't always like you, but we always love you" "Do it - or else" - or else what I'd say. "Turn the music down" "Go to sleep" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'd not heard that one before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I've decided it needs to be on every new page in this thread , at least once !!......................... I actually heard it on The Breakfast Show on Radio 2 yesterday morning, it was some lass from Sheffield and when Chris Evans asked where it came from (Her words not mine) "It's a local expression". So those cheeky ' Tykes' think they can nick our phrases eh? Then again we could have pinched it from them in the first place. Or could we, and if not , why not? discuss, in 200 words or less............... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Well actually, the very first time I heard that quote I was in Surrey at my future in- laws. Don't ever remember someone saying it when I was growing up in Nottingham. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Maybe from now on we should convert it to an acronym - IABBOBM - pronounced "Eye a bob 'em." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Well, without having any subtle undertones, I always understood it to be a term of affectionate abuse and mockery. I still use it myself from time to time with suitable candidates! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Maybe as a derivation of Big Goat (Nanny). The worst swear you can call anyone in Spanish is cabrón which equates to 'big goat' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 It was "She's the cat's meow" in our house if the "she" in question was doing something well - the "cat's mother" if she was showing pride! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Denise Dwyer 0 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Having left Nottingham in 1967 I had forgotten some of the lingo. I forgot that we used to say aye up. Does anyone know what that means? My mum was a bit of a snob and used to refer to some of our neighbours as " common as muck". After living in Australia for 40 odd years my dad still used to refer to women as " me duck". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 A variation..... the one I've heard a few times is "he's all mouth and trousers" (although not to me personally) i.e. talks rubbish with a one-track mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
