Monkey ‘n’ Parrot Time

Finally found a website that satisfies my need for slang

It’s raining dung head-first

It’s raining cobbler boys

Dog poo is falling

It’s raining like a pissing cow

It’s raining pilot whales

It’s raining puppies

It’s raining troll women

It’s raining frogs

It’s raining pocket knives

The rain kills the mice

It’s raining old women with clubs

Those were all different countries’ translations for “raining cats and dogs”

Dressed up like a sore finger!
apparently that means dressed up nice

All mouth and no trousers
(all talk no action)

Eating dried apples
that one means to be pregnant
look at this painting he just left one boob totally hanging out, how is that ok?

Couldn’t sell a statue to a pigeon

isnt it weird to think that the ocean used to have stuff in it?

Make it moo
(put some milk in my coffee)

A Chicago pineapple
(a grenade)

The clean potato
(on the straight and narrow path)

Tulip sauce
(making out! yay i love this one)

Sugar report
(a letter or note from your sweetheart)

Two-dog night
(not a bad threesome, just means cold as in you have to sleep between two dogs, which i guess WOULD be a pretty bad threesome)

Mutton dressed as lamb
(an old lady all tarted up)

All his geese are swans
(an exaggerator)

Acknowledge the corn!
(wait i forgot this one)
(i had to google it: By folk tale, attributed to an instance of a man who stole several horses and the corn to feed them but in court only admitted to stealing the corn. thus: acknowledge defeat and admit to a mistake, cop a plea)

Dining room chairs
(teeth. i thought that was pretty clever)

The big white telephone
(toilet euphemism)

Have a hairy canary
(freak out)

wow!

Take the number 11 bus
(to walk somewhere, legs look like 11 i guess?)

these are fun these are codes people would write on an envelope to their girlfriend:
BURMA – Be Undressed, Ready My Angel

HOLLAND – Hope Our Love Lasts and Never Dies

ITALY – I Trust And Love You

“alewife” is a really good word in and of itself

LYKAH – Leave Your Knickers At Home

NORWICH – Knickers Off And Ready When I Come Home

POLO – Pants Off, Legs Open
(photo is me driving big truck up to RI and Boston and so grumpy probably not good caption for this, no)

SWANK – Sealed With A Nice Kiss

SWALCAKWS – Sealed With A Lick ‘Cos A Kiss Won’t Stick

that last one was pretty lame

so i drove up some crates to Ara to visit him and also

jim drain! hypnogoogia reunion!

ara collects and restores vintage pinballs

this is dianna molzan

klara liden
they had a sorta mini “xstraction” show up

not sure how she fits in
but this makes me think of “Pinkberry”
a chain i am sure is successful because of the subconscious nipple thoughts
