Some sayings that the people on here might not have heard....
"Work like a N word " meaning to work very hard
Another saying when someone thinks they are being mistreated."What am I, a blackman?"
And finally....when someone thinks a just and fair judgement is needed, or to reprimand someone for being unfair or unreasonable...."Play the whiteman"




You had to go and spoil it didn't you.

@ Miss Nellia....sorry............ the thread is about British sayings, to make up for lowering the tone here are some more.

"He knows which side his bread is buttered".....Caught between choices, knowing the most benificial one.
"He knows how many beans are five"...he is street wise or he knows the score.
"Naff....no good.
"See you later"......Goodbye...Goodnight

No you just wanted to get your digs in!!! How would you like it if we came up with a few White sayings we have for you people?
BTW 'See you later' is universal I thought.
