Phrase For Phriday
As usual I’ve no idea whether this is just English, but I’ve listed a couple of expressions here that cropped up in conversations during the week.
So today’s phrases have nothing in common except that they a similar “feel” about them to me – London actually, but that’s probably wildly out…
- Sling you hook… If you don’t know, this means leave – GO! That’s as when you tell some annoying little twerp to disappear: “Go away! Sling your hook!”
- Drop a clanger… This means to make a mistake. Do a job badly, or maybe even mistakenly let a secret slip, as in: “Oops! Sorry I dropped a clanger there. I thought your girlfriend knew all about that blonde.”
Have a good weekend… 🙂

Those are definitely English! Excellent! I have a great southern (states) expression for you: “If you’re feeling froggy, you’d better get to leaping.”
As in, if you want to fight, give it your best shot.
I love this foreign exchange program we have going!

Thank you – I hadn’t heard your froggy expression before either.
Very interesting 🙂
