Kwackerz forewarning of the "Talk Like A Pirate" Day got me thinking.

There must be a lot of "Do Something" Like A "Something or Someone" out there.

I guess it's our mission to track them down!

So please make ready with your suggestions ..... quoting your source so that it's not just something you made up .... no, I don't care, if you make up a good one that we can all use in future conversations, just mark it as "NEW".

So to get us started:

• Talk Like A Pirate (Kwackerz) {Talk Like A Pirate Day}
  Walk Like An Egyptian (D-Rider) {The Bangles}
  Float Like A Butterfly (D-Rider) {Mohammed Ali}
  Sting Like A Bee (D-Rider) {Mohammed Ali}

Your turn now .....

Bangs like a belt-fed mortar (usually referring to one of the fairer sex) {some Fusilier I shared a room with}

Some (very) old colloquialisms:

Drinks like a fish
Smokes like a chimney
Flat-out like a lizard drinking
Dry as a dingo's donger (if you're this thirsty, you really need a beer!)
Mad as a box of frogs
As curvaceous as a sack of snakes (referring to the fairer sex)
Managing like a flock of seagulls (arrives in a storm of noise, flaps around squawking and crapping on everything, then vanishes)

Deadly as Nightshade



Sorry, couldn't resist

There's a theme going on here .... not the original theme about phrases containing "Like A" .... but a theme none the less ....

So Joe, do we take it that you're something to do with ships or shipbuilding then?

There's always one who misses the point completely

No idea on the origins of these:

Bangs like a barn door in a gale (energetinc in bed)
Looks like a Bulldog licking piss off a thistle (exceptionally ugly person)
Has a face like a Violin (miserable, long faced person)
Piss like a race horse (to do lots of wee wee)

Swears like a Trooper (Obvious?)
Chimfs like a Good 'Un (Whinges a lot)
Goes off like an Exocet Missile (Short fused temper)
Mad as a Fish with mudflaps (Obvious?)

Talk like a Wa**ers Day

It happens 365 of a year!
