I remember cycling commentator David Duffield using that phrase on live TV a few years ago.
My mum (white) is fiercely protective of her right to use that phrase
Almost definitely missing the point of the thread, but my friend just said an album “slaps” as a thing for good
- Yes grandad we’re all saying that now

I used that in a presentation this morning.
You awful person
List of DiS users who don’t slap:
- Scott_Chegg
End list.
How dare you! I am addicted to the shindig
“Head over heels” has always confused me a bit because it’s meant to convey being crazy in love or whatever but my head is usually over my heels in most normal situations so what’s going on there then. Might start saying heels over head, see how that goes
No such issues with the glorious “arse over tit” though.
(Or as my Mum says, “A over T”. Bless her)

I also remember from A Level history that the term was used in 19th Century Russia to describe the areas in which Jews were permitted to live.
Dark indeed…

My grandad always used to say ‘arse over apex’ which I liked.
I sometimes say ‘does the pope shit in the woods?’ and nobody ever notices.

base over apex, surely?
From a quick google that apparently is the correct phrase, my grandad was clearly to cool to play by the rules though.
