I’ve lived in Europe for some time, but I still remember one of my first lessons in ex-pat life (brought on by a conversation two girls from the Midlands): my mother tongue can also be a foreign language. I had to say “Come again?” every five minutes. LOL
I love this so much that I've got no words! You drop one thing after another and it keeps getting better and better until the piano line at the end. Brilliant. I think we need more of these please!
Sheesh, well, everything happens for a reason! 🤣 Including ALL of the clichés is a Sisyphean task - so instead of doing that, I suggest you sit down and put your feet up before you blow a gasket. 😉😁🤣
Sometimes you remember a bit of slang from childhood.
In my part of Queens, when something was uproariously funny you would say it was a 'pisser'. What a pisser! (which this is)
I can't believe I remember this. haha.
Oh, I've heard that. I thought it meant "horrible". In the UK, it's a not very nice name for a not very nice person. So much for a common language!

I look forward to checking out the other versions.
Stone the crows, Dr Tel, I flipping loved this! Laughing like a drain! 🤣
