'Spill the beans'. This originates from Ancient Greece where they had a voting system involving black and white beans. When the time came for the count they had to spill the beans out from the voting box. Sometimes the beans would spill onto the tiled floor and be a hazard for possible slippage. They used lady slaves to solve this by flicking the beans away to safety, this also lead to the invention of Subbuteo. They had a job title but I can't remember it.

Originally from the movie Ghostbusters it has been found to be a general persistent sound from home supporters at Goodison Park over the past decade. Has also been heard as recently from the away end at Shelhurst Park, London.

'Get the sack'. Derives from when lead-swingers etc were given a sacking bag to put their tools in before being asked to leave the premises and never return. This is a possibility at premises near to City Road soon according to rumours but the bag will contain a few million quid and a book of luncheon vouchers.

Another conversation starter for the pub for those who haven't the brain to think of something themselves ?
'As good as gold' - this refers to an IOU type piece of paper given to one businessman to another in the 19th century. The signed paper declared that the person would be paid the following week in the amount of gold owed. The paper said 'this is as good as gold'. A bit like your mingebag mate asking for a tenner until payday which you may or may not ever get back again.

'Peeping Tom' - If you were told that a fit bird was going to amble down Bold Street in the nack but if you had a blimp you'd be thrown in the Bridewell for a day, would you have a gander? Well this lad called Tom did when Lady Godiva rode along Coventry after being warned no blimping. So Peeping Tom was named as a perv. They are desperate in Coventry like.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
Years ago, my grandad used to say "home and dry" every time he got home in a car.. it was a common saying back in the day when people used horse and cart to get around and were happy to get home dry.. I say it now and my son who's 6 now says it too..
Home and dry, was the b side to "Here we go cup final song" If I'm not mistaken? Nice to keep these family saying going.
