Why are you reporting this puzzle?

If you’re having a beer in a pub, mate, and done drinking for the night, you can place your glass on its side on the bar. It won’t be filled again.

If you turn your empty glass upside-down and place it on the bar, it means you’re willing to fight anyone in the pub.

So make sure you get it right!

hippo

Kick a quick Buick in the rick with a sticky chick flick, Mick.

msbonne

:::hoping hippo will be ok:::

hippo

For a buck you can chuck a lucky puck in the muck (yuck!) but the star-struck duck would cluck...

Sorry, rhyming virus...

msbonne

Chuck does not mean puck, although you can chuck a puck.

Juba1010

Chuck means throw away, or just throw here.

Ms_Maddy

Chuck also means puke in Straya.

msbonne

Think so.

hippo

Isn't Chuck Patty's baseball playing friend - the one with the beagle?

msbonne

Chuck is a wagon, meat, and oddly, a name in the US.

globetrotter14

Chuck is a term of affection here in north west England

msbonne

Where's your bull?

Ms_Maddy

Where’s my bull whip?

hippo

As as as as

Ms_Maddy

Soz, can’t help ya mates. Flat out like a lizard drinking.

hippo

Wha...?? No worries as. She'll be right...

msbonne

CRASH!!!!!


THUD



hippo I am so sorry. I did not mean to hit you with all those plates.

hippo

I knew you could do it hoff! Keep them up!

:::tickling Hoff with @Ms_Maddy's feather duster:::

msbonne

::::sink eating:::::

hippo

:::trebuchetting a dozen plates in the direction of Hoff:::

msbonne

Nothing at all spilled. Of course, I am quite skilled with plate catching.

Watchman

I was never good at sports. Glad to hear that it was a good toss. ;-))

msbonne

Yup, nice toss.

Watchman

Here is an underhanded toss... Up, up, over, over... SPLAT! DId it stay on?

msbonne

:::Rubbing plate with Stick'um:::

Watchman

I don't want to be called a Sheila, even though I am a female.

All the prawns served to me, I gladly and freely will give them to whoever wants them, no fighting needed. Hold your plate up and we will see if I can toss a Prawn onto your plate, without it sliding off. ;-))

Juba1010

promise?

msbonne

I was referring to I'll eat your prawns.

Ms_Maddy

Yup, Sheila is a female.

msbonne

Is that a euphemism?

Mischka

I'll eat your prawns!

Do you still say Sheila? :)

Watchman

Ta, S'arvo let us go to the Bottle-o and then put Prawn on the Barbie. Can we also put some hamburgers or steaks on, I am not fawn of Prawns. Ta for the tag. ;-))

Juba1010

I tell my daughter’s dog to put a sock in it.

jimez

What...No "Roo's" or " Joeys".

nanab

We do have a few of these sayings, or very similar ones.
I never heard "hang" a u-ey, "bang" a u-ey I have heard and said.

That it is.

Ms_Maddy

American English is certainly a mother.

Drunk is the main problem.

msbonne

Merica is the mother of all languages.

Ms_Maddy

Merican is not a language.

Ms_Maddy

@hippo, I think ‘fortnight’ for 2 weeks is also common to us.

msbonne

Merican. The mother tongue.

hippo

Ta, One for the road, put a sock in it and p*ssed (off) are all also in common use in the UK. Don't know where they originated though...

Ms_Maddy

Yup, what jpowell264 said :)

@Mischka

Yes Mischka...”to chuck a sickie” means to pretend to be sick so you don’t have to go to work. Dishonest to your poor old boss who still has to pay you.

msbonne

:::laminating this handy guide for on the go use:::

Mischka

I like "chuck a uey." Is chuck used in other phrases, meaning "to do" or "perform"?

Ms_Maddy

Oh dear John 😮

SPaceDinVADerOne

in my youth, I would have been putting my empty glass upside down every Friday and Saturday night ... until no one would take the offer. then I would wait ... for someone else to turn their glass upside down 😉 hehehehehe

Several of these we Hoosiers say, too!

Ms_Maddy
