Unique/funny Phrases Not Often Heard Here

[Lopburi99]

I miss not hearing (and using) some of the unique terms and phrases from my pre-Thailand days, like:

"Holy Jumping Dinah!" (Wow!)

"Nothing Doing" (No Way)

"She's got a gigantic case of the ass today!" (She is in a nasty mood today!)

"Oh Dry up" (Stop whining)

"Stop your belly aching!" (Stop complaining!)

"That little mammy scratcher!" (That little rascal)

Got any to add? The funnier the better

Last night, I said this to my Thai Working Girl Friend:

I tried to shake you by taking you to Hua Hin. She had never heard that before. I've been unsuccessful in shaking her a few times. I can't seem to shake her loose no matter what I try.

When a friend 'sacked' his old girlfriend for a younger (but less agreeable) version, I explained to my wife that we say "he jumped out of the frying pan into the fire".

She understood immediately. The Thai version is "run away from the snake , run into the crocodile's mouth"
