Wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole 

Wouldn’t touch it with a bargepole is an expression indicating extreme dislike and distaste for an object, person or situation. The expression can be used in a similar way to wouldn’t touch her with a 10 foot pole, but is not solely applicable to females; it is even more disparaging when used about a female as it treats her as something less than human. Many bargepoles were 12 or 13 feet long, but one specialised type called a setting boom could be as long as 28 feet! So as you can imagine, wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole means something which you would much rather keep well away from.

“Mate, you want to avoid that one; I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole!”

Don't-Touch-Me-Scrunchie 

Traditional hairpiece worn by women to keep their hair out of their face. Common characteristics of a don't-touch-me-scrunchie are when it's worn; ridiculously tight pulled back hair, a pissed-off look on the womans face and a walk that would plow anybody over if they got in her way.

Chris- "I saw your ex walking out of the bank the other day."

John- "Oh yeah? How did she look??"

Chris- "She was wearing sunglasses, an angry look on her face and her hair was pulled back really tight in a don't-touch-me-scrunchie."

Don't touch that dial 

An old term used at the end of a show before a commercial, the 'dial' part referring to old TV's that had dials to change channels. Some shows still use this, and only use it because other shows do. Other shows now use the term 'Don't touch that remote' or something like that.

Don't touch that dial, we'll be back after these messages.
