Evidently not a Brum thing but this thread made me thinking of my dear old nan yelling "I'll have your guts for garters!" at me. What a horrible saying 😅

Also a long way round “round the Wreakin” was blanked in Yorkshire as was “it’s looking black over Bob’s way “ for incoming rain
"Black over Bill's mom's".

The Bill being Shakespeare and referring to weather from the south-east.

In a similar horrible vein, my uncle from the west of Ireland, when hungry, would often say, "I could eat the arm off a scabby child."
Fall down, if you love the booze.

If someone was enquiring in great detail, my Nan used to say "He wants to know a duck's arse, (and how far up it!)"

Not sure if this is Brummie or Irish as never heard anyone other than my family use it. If something is shit it’s “desperate”.

“The film was shit” - “it was a desperate film”

“XYZ is a shithole” - “it’s a desperate place”

My dad’s version of that was “I could eat a kid with a scabby head”.
His ancestors were from the west of Ireland
