Phrases
Does anyone know of the origin of the following two phrases?
It's a Bugger's Muddleand
Cheap as Chips
I'm curious. The first is from a Southern England area dialect I thinbk; the second seems to be appearing recently on radio,etc..possiblky from an Australian Soap...?Help please
The first is pretty certainly rhyming slang and merely adds a bit
of emphasis to a description of a muddle.
The second has become popular - for several years now - as a result
of David Dickinson, the British TV antiques expert who has his own
show 'Bargain Hunt'. Where he got it from I don't know.
