Things you don't hear so much anymore

[joe 90]

I was thinking about these earlier & managed to remember some, add some if you think of any.

I'll be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

He's just the bees knees.

He thinks he's just the cat's pyjamas.

She's a box of birds.

When our ship/boat comes in.

More of those chem trails today.

In like Flynn.

She's a Bobby dazzler.

As full as a bull/boot/the family po.

I'm full of beans.

His nibs.

I'll be there in a tick/two ticks.

She's/he's as fit as a fiddle.

So & so said.

A sky as black as the ace of spades/your hat.

He's as cool as a cucumber.

Feeling a bit browned off.

I'm as free from money as a frog is from feathers. (My Gran)
