I'm going to teach them a lesson: Is there another way?

It's wet out: Is it ever wet in? (non-sexual, please)

I'm going out of my mind: How do you go in your mind?

I'm at my wits' end: How can you know where it or they end?

At the end of the day: Why not before tomorrow?

They don't call him clever for nothing: How much does he have to pay?

It's gone pear-shaped: Why not banana, or g-string. What's wrong with the shape of a pear?

He's a mummy's boy: Is there another form?

I could go on forever - but actually I can't!

How about if a pipe bursts - or the bath overflows?

It's all dropped to the bottom - ie pear shaped.

You really haven't thought this through have you.

Pissed as a newt? I'll have you know, my newt is teetotal.

When the slot machine coughs up the jackpot your new found wealth drops to the bottom - thus and therefore all things that drop to the bottom need not be negative. As for 'thinking it through', thanks for the tip.

I don't think the phrase refers to fruit machines. More the fruit itself.

Why does "fill in a form" mean the same as "fill out a form"?

Does the much admired Marc P's "fruit" refer to nuts?

Does to 'fill someone in' refer to someone else's wrath being written al over that someone?
