- (continued from previous page)like the tailor and the long thread.
A stitch in time saves nine.
You have a head like a hen, you can pick up anything.
Extravagance in youth brings want in old age.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Don't be trying to throw chaff in my eyes.
Your just like a wolf in sheep's clothing
Oh! hand me down the moon if you please?
You're only an old wag by the bush.
You're only an old hooker
Don't go around the bush about it just speak it right out.
You'll talk the black crow white.
Don't take the bite out of my mouth.
