Default Sayings not meant to be taking literally

Im trying to conduct a bit of an experiment with the youngsters

looking for some more suggestions really on things we say that arent meant to be taken literally, like

Laughing my head off ( I cant do that as I will die, so the kids say)

Pull your socks up, (when you arent wearing any)

That kind of thing

what others are there

Cheers

Steve

My Mam told me one when she was younger what my Gran said to her

I'll knock you clean out of your socks

My Mams reply was, what, and leave them standing there.

How old are the kids?

I mean there's the whole Father Christmas thing for starters....

Then there's the eating stuff like "Spinach is really nice......"

Putting aside the day-to-day "I'll murder you if you do that again...." or perhaps the milder "you're driving me nuts....."

To the more grown up "It'll make you go deaf......"

Then when your daughter's about 19 "Don't be ridiculous, of course I don't fancy your best friend Sophie......"

You could always tell them to go and talk a long walk off a short pier.

A way to get them to eat their greens/veg - tell them it's grown's up food.

"Look out" is probably the strangest as that normally means duck!

If you rub it too hard it will fall off.
