Not a phrase as such, but my Mum told me that, when my Aunt was about 4 my Granny said to her "don't argue", to which my Aunt replied, "I won't arg you if you don't arg me."

My mother used the wartime slogan "Make do and mend" throughout her life. She described clothes and furniture of a dark colour as being "serviceable."

"It's black over Bill's mother's" was one of my father's favourites. Your interpretation is correct. Still in use here in the United States. Albeit I get some strange looks when I utter it. I get strange looks when I don't.

After being aprehended for some misdemeanour, a classmate once shouted out at a very high volume; "Arrrrrrrh shady blame me anner done nowt", which recieved rave reviews amongst us eight year olds and became a very popular motto, symbolising defiance in the face of authority.

My Dad when he was hungry...
"I could eat a cat's arse if it was roasted"
Asking my Dad where he got something...
"I found it on a lady's doorstep"
My Mum who couldn't be fooled...
"I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking"
My Mum if it looked like rain (a bit different from the previous version, perhaps this is the southern way of saying it)
It's a bit dark over Will's mother's
Telling me I'm stoopid...
"You daft aporth"
On pulling a face my Mum would say...
"If the wind changes you'll stay like that"
And finally, when we were kids we ate a lot of Waitansee.
When ever my brother or I asked Mum what's for lunch or tea the stock answer would be...
Wait and see
Mum and Dad I miss you so much.

As a child, when I used to ask my father where he was going, he would say: "To see a man about a dog."
Regarding someone stupid, he would say: "He's as daft as a brush" or "He's half soaked."
On being unenthusiastic or hesitant: "Don't be such a wet lettuce."
When someone pushed past: "Mind me bike" or "Where's the fire?"

As a kid when I asked what was for tea? My Mum would reply...
“a kick up the pantry door” ???
When someone was nervous we used to say...
“he is sixpence, ½ a crown”

A classic for me was "turn it down"
However I never actually heard the phrase, I just saw my old man's lips moving as my music was always louder than he could shout ;D

One of my nans before she died when someone was having their tea "your grandads in the kitchen stuffing his hodge". If you fell over you would "have a place for a plaster". If you were naughty "they will put you in home with a little red hat on" Also how many of your dads threatened to "wrap your legs". Slightly off topic but did this ever happen to you. You would fall over or walk into something and your dad would clout you and go "Yoy wont do that again will you lad". Well dad yeah I will I enjoyed walking into that lamp post that much I am going back for more ;D and the famous one when your backside is going to get tanned "this will hurt me more than it will hurt you" CCRRAAAPPPPPP ;D

The old classic"don't come running to me when you break your legs" always made me smile.
Also, "you'll have someones eye out with that", no matter what the object, stepladders, a football or anything that blatantly would not fit in an eye socket!
