carni 10,094 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 If for some reason what ever we were doing had to stop this would be said Well That's Put The Kibosh on that then I still say it today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Another one for anything that was obvious was "Yes well that sticks out like Chapel Hat Pegs" We always used - "sticks out like dogs b*lls". And while on the animal topic - something or someone totally useless would be - "as much use as t*ts on a bull" Still use those those phrases today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm not sure why it was said, but mam would say you little Tripe Hound. Any one know in what circumstance it would have been said (I was probably up to some kind of mischief) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I've got one of those. Lifted a couple of pieces of chicken off the counter the other night. I guess he'd have been just as happy with tripe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm not sure why it was said, but mam would say you little Tripe Hound. Any one know in what circumstance it would have been said (I was probably up to some kind of mischief) Not sure - but perhaps refers to nonsense - as in "e's talkin' a load o' tripe" (a common expression often relating to politicians).

notty ash 371 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Tripehound is in dictionaries, so probably not confined to the Nottingham area. It means - a good for nothing or objectionable person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Oh look here comes Fanny By Gas Light) I never thought about where the name came from,until now,i just googled it and it was the title of a film made in 1944. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Monday morning is old-codgers badminton for me at our local leisure centre and yesterday one of the other players from somewhere "up North" said "who's got the pill" , meaning the shuttlecock . That brought back a memory from school days , I'm sure we used to call the tennis ball we would play endless games of football in the playground "the pill" , anyone else remember that ?

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 As we went to the same school & same year I certainly do David. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Thanks Andrew , proves I'm not going bonkers then !..... but I wonder how a ball got to be called "the pill". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I went to same school but only played hockey,i don't think we called it that in hockey,could it be called pill because the ball is round like a pill.LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Could be Carni . Seem to remember also a "kick in the pills" would make a lad speak in a high voice ! Maybe thats the connection ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 i do remember lads referring to their doodas as pills not that i was listening. Do you think that is where the expression you pillock comes from. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Pillock apparently does stem from the 14th century Scandinavian word Pillicock which was the word for the male member , so I think you are right ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Thanks Andrew , proves I'm not going bonkers then !..... but I wonder how a ball got to be called "the pill". It "was" white like a aspirin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Another one : "if you don't go , you'll be on your TOD" Tod was apparently rhyming slang and stemmed from a famous American jockey of the early 1900s called Tod Sloan . He was very successful in Europe but lost his racing license due to some misdemeanor . So the original rhyming slang for "on you own", was "on your tod sloan" and shortened to tod .
