We were watching a programme about the Romans the other evening. When the Romans’ visited the toilet, to wipe themselves afterwards their used to be a stick with a sponge or rags on one end of it and a handle on the other end, so you definitely didn’t want to “get the wrong end of the stick”!
What gems does everyone else know? |

"Don't piss in my pocket and tell me it's raining" is a personal favourite. |

“Not enough room to swing a cat”
Which of course does NOT mean a feline lol...
... but actually refers to an old naval term for using a “cat o’nine tails”... which I’m sure a few of you DO have experience in?! 
Therefore basically “not enough room to swing a whip” |
