    Cheap at half the price.

    That one has never made sense to me in the context that it is used.

    This one was explained to me by an old boy. The original cry of the street vendor had a pause after 'Cheap'.

    'Cheap...at half the price', which made sense until it became bastardised in later years.

    Not a phrase but, putting a question mark at the end of a statement. YOU ARE NOT ASKING ME A QUESTION YOU TOOL, WHY HAVE YOU PUT A QUESTION MARK?

    THAT WAS A QUESTION, THIS IS NOT. SEE, A FULL STOP - IT'S EASY TO USE, RIGHT THERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE KEYBOARD, YOU BRAINLESS CRETIN.

    I'm fine.

    "So what you are saying, is..." - Usually followed by something so far removed from what was actually said that it can be moved straight in to the bin marked 'utter shit'.

    He didn't quite get it right. Ceap is merely an Old English noun meaning stock (or livestock). So originally the phrase just meant stuff at half price. (So, Cheapside in the City was originally a marketplace.)

    Cunts I don't know who call me "buddy".

    Being called son grates with me.

    That's what parents do.
    Mine did not call me that.

    "Bless your heart", when used by Southerners in The States. It really means "you asshole".
