Ray Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Ok, I was watching "The Wall" this weekend with lyrics turned on, which acts just like closed captioning--meaning that it displays not just the songs lyrics, but spoken lines as well. Please, someone from across the pond, explain what "Sling your hook" means. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 A not uncommon Cockney phrase used to tell someone to go away, clear off etc is "sling your hook", but pronounced "sling yer 'ook" http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/19/messages/867.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 if you can't hold your liquor...... hold your tounge! Speaking of English, Brian, this has been bothering me. "hold your tounge" would be better if spelled 'tongue'. Good sentiment either way, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
