Manchester dads are truly one of a kind, famous for one-liners so memorable we catch ourselves repeating their words of wisdom and jokes. Whether they're moaning about the house looking 'like Blackpool illuminations' or telling us they're 'off out to see a man about a dog', some of these turns of phrase have stuck over the years.
1. "It's not the cough that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in". Here's a dad-phrase that just trips off the tongue. The meaning of the message here is really not so much about your demise, but rather the dignity with which you meet it - or something like that. 6. "Don't sit on cold floors, you'll get piles" A familiar phrase to many, and one that successfully deterred us from settling on a cold surface at all costs.
11. "Put wood in th'hole on your way out" Did you have a habit of leaving the door ajar when you left the room? If so, this one's for you. 16. "Stop whining or I'll give you something to cry about" This also sounds like something many mums would say. If we were sensible, we'd stop crying, but sometimes we'd continue sobbing just to see what the consequences would be.
