Just read these our indoors. Much laughter.

A few more suggestions

Did any of you ever get a 'grandad' at school?

Or a wedgie?

We used to get "Do you want your palm read?" and if you stupidly said yes some dick with a paintbrush would paint your palm red.

There was "Do you know Paul?" and if you said "Paul who?" they'd say "Pull tie" and yank your tie so hard you couldn't undo the knot without scissors.

And there was "Do you want to be mooed?" and you'd go "what?" then they'd pin you down and fill your mouth up with grass like a cow. They did that to me on my birthday once and that upset me all the more because until that point I'd assumed people were immune to that sort of thing on their birthdays!

In hindsight, I was probably bullied.

Has anyone referred to someone as a bit of crumpet recently?

Bloody Nora- part time James it seems you may have been victim to initiation ceremonies propagated by latent homosexuals (in denial) - this could be a new thread, and we need some cos frankly it's been a bit thin lately

We called that a Peanut. And there's was generally no chat - just reach out and grab (and shout Peanut!). Was in the same group of 'violet greetings' as a neck back, slap head and the afore mentioned spam.

A long forgotten goodun is saying 'shame' as you run the palm of your hand down someone's face who's just fukced something up. Really wanted to make you want to punch people that one.

Not heard anyone being called a Wally or a Spanner for a while.

I was an ugly child (and adult) so if I got any sexual attention of any form then I'd be very surprised.

Does anyone remember "Hello Jack, how's your back"
? I haven't see you for ears, but I still nose ya"

Obviously your back, ears and nose got a bit of a slap or tweak along the way.

Thankfully no. Myself and my mother are probably the only women safe from his advances in all honesty

Calling someone a Harlot or Trollop

A bit of 'totty'

One from husband's school days. Ask to read someone's palm and basically make up a story. Here's your big house, landscaped gardens etc then spit into the palm of their hand and say here's your nice big swimming pool

My old man (rest his soul) often used to say 'hope your face gets better' as part of saying goodbye.

You're a 'Bexley' was used to say someone was being stupid ( I think there used to be a mental hospital there)

One I remember from living in Cornwall when someone had the hump was to use, 'he's got a face like a dogs arse with a hat on'

Indeed there did. A proper old late-Victorian asylum on Dartford Heath. My next-door neighbours back in the day (in Northumberland Heath, Erith) worked there. I played cricket there a few times, and play regularly had to be suspended while the 'guests' took a stroll across the square. I played on Chislehurst Common too, but there were fewer such incidents!

Here's a few very dated ones:

The answer to a smoker asking "Have you got a match?" was "Yeah mate; my arse, your face!"

Fur coat and no knickers. A female who tries to give the impression of being affluent/wealthy/cultured/ but actually hasn't got a pot to p*ss in.

She's a bit 'pound note'. Either a posh lady, or used ironically to mean a female purporting to be so.

She's/He's 'two-bob'. Which I always thought meant a reference to someone who was 'beneath' the speaker's perceived social standing, but a cockney friend maintains it refers to the rhyming slang "two-bob bit" i.e. He's sh*t.

Bent as a nine-bob note. No explanation needed, I trust.

Bent as hairpins. As above.

Bent as a*seholes. Ditto!
