Me too, but that's because we all thought Steve Irwin was such a great guy and for me besides I've spent so much time in Australia over the last five years I've caught a bit of their lingo.

Or the closely related: "I would crawl a mile over broken glass just to suck the dick that fucked that"

"Sweating like a rapist" always cracks me up.

Especially the time I heard it in conversation between two senior detectives

... 'pulchritudinous' is one of my favourites

I like "Giving birth to a politician". The saying and the act.

Hmmm. I have always known them referred to as "clinkers"...

(Basically) once used by an intelligent soul before breaking down a complex subject into language mere mortals can understand but now used by trailer trash Brits at the start of every sentence as if their about to say something profound. It's nearly always utter tripe, as in, "Basically I screwed anova woman but me wife dint like it".

(You know) used at the beginning middle and end of every sentence spoken by David Beckham and other mental geniuses.

On a less iritating note;

She's got a face like a trod on chip.

She's got a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

Bastard buggery bollocks.

I like "He/she has TAPS syndrome".
The word 'nape' has always sounded weird to me. Don't know why because there's nothing dodgy about it, just sounds funny.

Pickle my ring, and i heard that from a female friend years ago, i just buckled at the nees....

TAPS? Is that like FITH??
I know what you mean about nape, I can't stand the word 'fiddle', but it does sound dodgy.

My flatmates and I used to have a list of words that feel great to say and generated wonderful mind pictures. We'd keep adding to them while drinking .... all said while moving the lips and tongue in an exaggerated fashion. These are the ones I can still remember:

Fleshy
Moist
Albumen (egg white ... hehe)
Engorged
Obsequious
Gush

These days I really like the word immeasurably - it sounds great when inserted into speech. Immeasurably better than "heaps".
