See, told you you'd recognise me if you're going to see Jasper in Brum



PSD

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

PSD: were you in centre court watching Tim Henman this afternoon (Mon) ? Because if not, there was a bloke in the crowd who's stolen your hair.

"In a pig's eye is rhyming slang for lie, and usually means Nonsense! "As an expression of scorn the expresion was picked up in 1872 by Petroleum V. Nasby (David Locke) in one of his satirical newspaper columns 'poetical cotashuns' which wuz "Kum one, kim all, this rock shel fly From its firm base - in a pig's eye." (From The Dictionary of Cliches by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985)."

It took me ages to find this on google.

I wonder whether "pig's eye" might in fact originally have been euphemised from a more ("ahem") fundamental reference to porcine anatomy.

This was willed where what is willed... can get rather silly.

PSD, I certianly will.

Though it's still in doubt as to whether I'll be going or not... Should know for definite by next week though.

If you mean Pigs a**e, Simon, that is actually an expression here in Aus which means bullsh**. After all, why use a swear word when a swear word conveys the message so much more clearly?

(Having just re-read that I realised the grammar is shocking, but I'm an un-educated Aussie so I can do that)
