dark everyday expressions...

[ulala06]

ever actually think about things we say as children or everyday?

examples:

fairy tales... 2 children abandoned to be eaten by a witch? a giant who grinds your bones to make bread?

"ring around the rosies" is about the bubonic plague!

"cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye" ?!?!


does anybody know of any other common phrases that are really dark?

[Happydude]

how about


"GIMME THAT (insert item here) OR I'LL F***IN KILL YOU!!!"


:D

[Jonbo298]

Santa will bring me something good since I've been nice this year :unsure:

(I cant think at the hmoment >_< )

[Crash]

In a coons age: doesn't mean anything bad to blacks, back in the day, coons were thought to live like 30+ years (although they really live about 15)

Cotton picking... eh that's funny to me (sorry if that offends anyone-bugs bunny says it!)

[Dylflon]

"Love you to death."

Just what does that mean?

[GameMaster]

Don't try to teach your Grandma to suck eggs

You shouldn't teach anyone who knows alot more than you do.

[The Germanator]

Don't try to teach your Grandma to suck eggs

You shouldn't teach anyone who knows alot more than you do.

That sounds like a Ren and Stimpy reference if I've ever heard one.

[Typhoid]

No point in beating a dead horse.

[Hero2]

Step on a crack and you'll break your mothers and or your back!!!



Edited for cultureal differences

[Happydude]

Step on a crack and you'll break your mothers back.
last i checked it was your back...not your mother's

[Hero2]

Meh, your also canadian. :sneaky:

[DimHalo]

I have always heard it as your mother's back.

"When Hell freezes over."

-> I guess that could be a dark expression

[Stray_Bullet]

"Love you to death."

Just what does that mean?

Maybe it was intended to be understood as "I love you until I/you die"

How about Pacman? He consumes the undead and says "wicca wicca wicca"

"London bridge is falling down" ... Yay?

Jack and Jill broke their heads open (well, at least Jack did). So did Humpty... and he's not necessarily an egg, it never said he was in the story.

[Dyne]

How about Pacman? He consumes the undead and says "wicca wicca wicca"

No.

He says "Pakku Pakku Pakku" which is the Japanese onomatepia for eating. Hence, "Pakku-man".

actually, humpty dumpty is a big symbol for... something... like government or something i don't remember

[DimHalo]

I can't remember the exact story, but the Grimms version of the Frog Prince is much more dark than what we all hear.

Actually, at my parent's house, I have a book of all the Grimms Brothers stories... they're really interesting.

[Typhoid]

No.

He says "Pakku Pakku Pakku" which is the Japanese onomatepia for eating. Hence, "Pakku-man".



Did someone order some snapple?

[DarrenMcLeod]

Meh, your also canadian. :sneaky:
In my part of Canada (BC) I've always heard "mother's" back.... so I don't know.

What part of BC would that be?

*pinches your cheeks* Such a little cutie. Cute little Typhoon... aww. You want so much to be Dyne.

But yeah, I never knew about Pakku-man. I was simply BSing about the wicca thing. The fact that he eats undead was the root of the crazy idea. Basically it was a roundabout way of being sarcastic toward the thread's concept.

I want to be Phil?


Why would I want to be Dyne?

Me and him already have vast plans to be the best damn DFA Mock up ever.

If anything, I want to be Mr. Jesse F. Keeler.

I've known him too long to want to be him....Sorry Phil. :(

[KillerGremlin]

Not so much an everyday expression, but....

In math, when you are working with the Law Of Sines and Cosines, the ambigous case is always the Angle-Side-Side scenario.

Or, simply put, the Ambiguous ASS.

SSS
SAS
AAS
Ambiguous ASS.

The best part was when my math teacher wrote ASS on the board instead of the more accepted SSA.

[dropCGCF]

"I hope you die."
