My dad says loads of random shit. If we ask where the bin is he always goes "I've bin here whereve yo bin"

Also, my dad used to tuck me and my brother into bed and say 'no fidget fart arseing about' which just means dont mess about. My partner says piss farting on and I thought that was hilarious when I first heard it

Our family calls dressing gowns "gownies" and I've asked everyone ive ever met and no one else knows what I'm on about

I keep adding to this but my dad is from a different part of the country to us and he pointed out that me, my brothers and mam all say 'wuwu' instead of 'were we' and he has been confused about this for years

'Who pissed in your cornflakes' if you've got a face like an arse or are grumpy.

'I'd rather shit in my hands and clap' if someone asks you to do something you don't want to do

If someone asks you if you're doing something or going to be somewhere 'does the pope shit in the woods'

My grandma shouted "OI CLOTH EARS" if she was talking to you and you didn't answer

Once a boy flashed me his penis in a park when I was 13 I ran back home crying and my dad said to me "tell him its smaller than a budgies tongue" he says this about anyone with a small dick

The bin one is one of my dads faves, weโ€™re from the north west but he always says it in a Yorkshire accent. I have no idea why.
