Thanks Chris - a lovely lexicon - I love your English language.

You could start the day with a Full Monty, or just have a Dog Roll. The evening could be downing a few pints of Wallop or some of The Black Stuff, after which you could go for a Ruby Murray.

Hi Gerry, we are here so better to say "our English" instead of "your English" although I am out-Brits origin also. Cheers!

Colourful and expressive words - thanks Fred. What's a Dog Roll? More please.
I don't mind an egg banjo once in a while...

A dog roll is a sausage in a bread roll, not a sausage roll which is sausagemeat in pastry.
And an 'egg banjo' Keith?
An egg banjo is a soft fried egg in a roll or sandwich which you eat and as the yolk drips onto your shirt you brush it away as if playing a banjo.It's one from the 'old school' of sayings
I like egg banjo.Incidentally, I like Irish sayings too. A friendly Irish neighbour usually greets me with a delightful phrase: "G'day, is that yourself then?"
Then there's laughing gravy...
"Laughing gravy" Keith?
Laurel and Hardy's little dog Gerry...called Laughing Gravy.Then there's the hard man in the series 'Budgie' from the 1970's...Laughing Spam Fritter, one of the great TV names...!
