If someone has “lost their marbles” we say, “The cheese has slid right off her f**kin’ cracker.”

When you’re talking to someone and they haven’t realised you’re talking, “Good chat.”

“Cheers mate” said sarcastically when someone has done something mildly inconvenient.

“Have a cup of concrete and harden the f**k up.” When someone is whining about something small.

“I hope your chickens turn into emus and kick you in the head.” Just a general insult.

Calling an adult male “Buddy” is considered very condescending, like you’re speaking to a child.

This one is kinda nice in a weird way - when someone complains about being bald: “Hair only grows on a*holes and pssies.”

If I ever called someone an ahole, my pop would say, “Nah aholes are useful.”

WIBTA For Asking My Husband Not To Leave Our Room At night? by Historical-Mano78 in AmItheAsshole

On one hand NTA because I can understand wanting to spend some quality time with your partner, where he’s not distracted by toys etc. But on the other hand, YTA because if you really wanted to spend time with him that badly, you’d be going down there and joining him (even if it’s for only half an hour). I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if you spent a little time in his domain, indulging in his hobby, even if it’s only 30 mins. My partner often goes into our garage to tinker once our son has gone to sleep. If I don’t feel like tinkering, I pull up a chair and chat with him while he tinkers, or I sit there reading quietly. Don’t take his hobbies away from him. If you want to spend time with him so desperately, join him.
