    My wife’s old dutch grandma once had a sip of beer and said “it’s like an angel pissing on my tongue”

    Talking about how many children she had “your grandfather would throw his dirty undies at me and I’d get pregnant”

    “How’re we gonna fuck this pig” is my favorite. Means “how are we going to start this unpleasant task”.

    Fun fact: Saying it at work can net you several funny looks and more!

          Australian slang is fast becoming an arrogant edifice of human endeavour that god will have to one day topple or admit defeat. I for one suspect god is here to fuck spiders, and he may even be a drongo

    I have a pretty mild one that I’ve used all my life: “Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.” I said it once to the owner of the company I work for and he thought I meant I wouldn’t do what he’d asked of me, and he got a little upset. I had to explain it meant the opposite. That I had to explain it to him didn’t really ease the angst of the situation…

    And I thought my language had something unique. Turns out, saying “even from a sack full of pussies he would pull out a dick” to an unlucky person isn’t that unique to us.

      “I wouldn’t push her/him off the bed” means they’re fuckable in German.

      Original: Ich würde sie/ihn nicht von der Bettkante schubsen.

        You’re one of those people who reads a rumor on TMZ, takes it as fact and never even bothers to look up if it’s true

          No need to read TMZ, Jim has made such comments openly on his own show. Also, I forgot to add racist.

            Low hanging fruit. He’s an old southerner and when called out on his antiquated phrases by his jewish co host or Latino/black friends ,he takes his medicine and apologizes. He reminds me of my dad, you’d probably call him a raging homophobic, racist Nazi just cause he’s not as left as you, but he tries, learns, and will accept you.

            Btw, Jim Cornette is a Bernie supporting, socialist democrat and will fight for your right to be who you are, even if he doesn’t get it. Unlike people like Jericho and the aew people who criticize him and call him racist, while they’re the ones who donate to Trump and go to the Jan 6 insurrection.

            You people want every white southern who’s been on earth since Jim Crow days, to suddenly wake up one day and be leading the pride parade.

            Guys like Cornette will never be left enough for you, not even if they split their wrist for you. And splitting hairs with people who are on your side is how your get Trump in power.

              Just because Cornette is not a Republican doesn’t mean he’s not a shithead who has made derogatory comments and has refused to apologised for it (like his comments against Japanese female wrestlers). Your frankly moronic rambling makes no sense.

              No amount of whatabaoutism is going to change that.
