The Aussies use that one as well. First time I visited my son we went to get some fish and chips he used that to start to order. I said "What the fcuks that all about?" He said he hadn't realised he had picked it up. The shop we were in clearly stated on the front "Fish & Chips", but he ordered fries. I questioned him again and he told me chips out there are crisps despite it saying chips outside. You would think they would take on the traits of the old motherland, but I found it more Americanised.

Not a modern saying, but, 'don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs'.

What's that all about? ?

Perhaps its meaning is getting lost in time as few people nowadays literally suck eggs. Many years ago people would suck out the egg contents by piercing the egg at both ends and then sucking on one of the ends. You could reverse the procedure and blow out the contents also. It was such a commonplace procedure then that to "teach your grandmother to suck eggs" was like a child trying to teach as new something the grandmother well knew how to do. The saying still survives despite the fine art dying out in our "civilized" and salmonella fearing culture.

hope this helps
