Fathers favorite saying, when building .. "Measure twice, and cut once!! .. "

Someones beat-up, broken down, vehicle or machine .. "What a bucket of snot! .."

Someone who's a little slow .. "Couple of 'roos short in the top paddock .. "

"Coupla bricks short of a load .. "

Things not happening as fast as you'd like .. "Slow as a wet week .. " (reputed to have started as a specific reference to women's periods) ..

Someone really angry and out of control .. "Mad as a cut snake .."

"Took off like a cut cat .. " (with 'cut', a reference to de-nutting) ..

Classic Aussie saying, when someone protests about a poor job, or potential problems .. "She'll be right .. " (generally followed by the wheels falling off, shortly thereafter) ..

General lack of usefulness .. "Useless as **** on a bull .. ''

Brainlessness .. "If his brains were dynamite - he wouldn't have enough to part his hair .."

Poor hammer wielder .. "He's like lightning with that hammer .. never strikes the same place twice .."

You guys keep making me have to do actual work as a moderator, and I'm going to lock this thread.

No disguised profanity is the rule.

[wrenchbender]

Sorry digger242j I'll do better!
I don't want to be the cause of unesasary work and never want to be the cause of a thread being shut down.

Thanks, wrenchbender.

To all,

A good rule to follow is that if you type the word, preview the post, and if it comes up as all asterisks (****), then it's listed as a word that's not allowed. There's an auto-censor program that provides the asterisks.

I try real hard to treat everything that goes on here equally, so I can't let a disguised word slip by in one post, and edit it out of the next one. The only way I can figure out to keep it completely fair is to edit them all out, and that's why I do it. It's not because I'm on some kind of high horse, pretending I don't use those words myself. On the job, with the guys, sure I do. But I don't use them in conversation with customers, or strangers (because I don't know if they'd find them offensive), or kids, etc. We have those kinds of people visiting here, and once you've posted something, it's here for anyone to see, which is why the rule is in place.

On here, you have to actually type the words, and see them on the screen before you post them, so it's not like you can even say "Oops! That just slipped out."

I appreciate everyone's discretion...
