I wonder if there is an age line for these sayings? perhaps its the younger Dissers who have not had the pleasure of these saying??

Never heard of that but when we were kids everytime we saw a mini we said mini nip and also a VW was Herbie punch followed by the appropriate action! My wee brother got many beatings due to this!
My DH thinks everyone in the town I came from have really lost the plot especially when I come up with such gems as this from childhood. Best thing is we moved back there 3 years ago. SO he's lost the plot now too!
