Colloquialisms

I was listening to a Radio 4 programme last night called Th quotation game or similar and it started me thinking (that's a first, I hear you say!!)

They were talking about the origin of phrases or sayings like 'as bold as brass' etc. And then I started to think of some of the expressions and such like that we all grow up with and think normal but which other people from other regions don't often understand.

Stuff like 'he's noy as green as he's cabbage looking' and others.

We're from all parts of the country so what experessions have you got and what do they mean (if you know)?


Just thought of another thread topic too.... bye for now..
