The saying ‘Six and Two Threes’

[black cat in france]

When would she say that? Maybe we can figure out what it means.

Think it was a polite way of saying fuck off and get out of my feet.

To carry on my "worky ticket" efforts from last week, I'm about to attempt to explain "ginger piss biscuit". Got no chance.

Is this saying a north east thing? Just read sumit saying it’s a purely north east saying. Shirley not?

Terry said it in the likely lads.... I,ll got to foot of our stairs is another...

Me mam would say ``go and run up a shutter`` never found out what it meant, or was she saying shitter.

"run up a shutter" - Google Search

www.google.com

Seems to be UK wide that one, although I’ve never heard it before!

Scottish people say 6 and 2 two’s but they’ve always struggled with maths.

Me mam used to use six and two threes a lot, but when she was telling me she’d heard what I said but couldn’t give a fuck cos I was going to do what she said no matter what she used to say “well it’s six and two eights”, she wasn’t Scottish but wasn’t brilliant at sums either.

When someone's asking the score, calling draws as "one's each" or "two's each", etc., is definitely a North East thing.

Hope that's in response to him saying he's bad and not an insinuation that he was fond of using a six and two threes

 

[Motor City Cobra]

Always said it as sixes two threes as in "six is two threes"
Dunno where the "and" comes from, although is probably from
"Six and two threes are the same".

You really think so ?

Ones apiece.

me mother still uses it, but it's Holy War

‘There’ll be fuckin ell on’ Is the version I’m used to.

I've used it in Preston and had quizzical looks in return. Maybe maths confuses them down here.

There's a brewery in Shields that produces a 'Worky Ticket' lager you can get on draught in some places.

It's actually a dark, malty ale.

The missus just came out with it. I’ve obviously trained her well.

 

[Sidewinder2]

@Cox Green Fc just coined a new one:

"Corn beef and Corned Beef"

Its got legs I reckon ...

What the fuck is Corn Beef ??

 

[Fetch Fletch]

You'll get wrang!

I constantly get looks for still saying that

I think " piss biscuit" is the original old Norse translation of "Pirlo". Nee linguist so could be mistaken like. Same derivation as "pissed on your chips" unless one's very much mistaken, stand to be corrected etc.

No insinuation meant, although I did hear his favourite snack was under After Eights.
