    In the olden days fishermen were out at sea weeks,catching fish,they missed their wives and girlfriends and somehow it was found that a certain flat fishes mouth was exactly the same shape and feel as a women’s front bottom

    so this is where the expression “get your skates on” originates :)

    Much easier to have 1 forum, and simply don’t open/reply to a thread that doesn’t sound appealing to you. Sometimes titles of threads appear nothing to do with football until you open them

    Any forum I’ve seen that have attempted that always end up with the ‘any other business’ section busy and the main point of the forum dying a death. We only play once or twice a week and we now have an (un)official match day thread to talk about that in on those days. We spend our time chatting about all sorts in between and when something to do with football happens we talk about that.

    Plumbing to new depths.


    Sailors lowering a heavy weight on a rope to determine the depth of water they were in.

    Pretty certain this isn't true and it originates from where you would expect (ice skating).

    If you google it though, its on there and seen as an urban myth, so didnt come across as an intentional joke. Funny all the same though! :)

    "Pull your finger out" matelots used to have to put their finger in a hole in the cannon to keep the gunpowder in place, when they wanted to fire they'd say " pull ya finger out"

    Sionnach is telling me that **** comes from the days of transporting manure which would be rejected by the buyers if it got wet. The crates were therefore stamped S.H.I.T meaning Ship High In Transit.

    Also getting down to brass tacks relates to cleaning the bottom of a ship properly so you got down to the brass tacks nailed into the timbers.
