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 😅

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."

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

Grim 😁

British playground song... (or grandparent teasing grandchildren)...

"oh (NAME) is a funny 'un -
Got a face like a pickled onion,
He's (she's) got a nose like a squashed tomato,
And walks on two sticks"

Lots of regional variations... our family have used the above one through 5 generations.

Ginger nut fell in the cut
And frightened all the fishes
A pike came up and gobbled him up
That was the end of Ginger nut

So far as I can remember it was 'I'm so hungry I could eat a skabby hoss between two damp mattresses ' Well, it was over 60 years ago I think I first heard it.

Another i remember. 'Tell you what that bloke is as thick as a Gurkhas cock'
