jigsaw morality

"Moral" argument against gay or lesbian sex on the grounds that "the parts don't fit", as though bodies were supposed to be parts of a jigsaw.

Rome and Topeka have chimed in again with their discussion on how the seam line doesn't match up. More jigsaw morality.

Oops ... I just realised, our parts don't fit, umm, let's call it off. Hey, hold on, I know ... wanna go bowling?

Sandal Squad

Initials SS, also known as the Deep Green Mob. Given to talking about Nature in a way that is second cousin to God Squad style. Can't hear the word biotech without steam jetting out their ears, firmly believe that "chemical" is supposed to be an unqualified snarl word, and understand the difference between energy and radiation like nobody else. They would like to open your mind. Some of them would like to use a pick-axe.

When the local Sandal Squad heard that Jimmy Brogan was growing seedless grapes in his greenhouse, they turned up with a bulldozer and mangled the place.

tart with the cart

Popular local name for the statue of Molly Malone selling shellfish out of a cart, mounted on the pavement between the main gates of Trinity College and Grafton Street, Dublin, Ireland.

Ya gadda love the tart with the cart. Nice jugs on her. The oysters would probably taste as good as they ever did.

Grand Poo Bah

A Grand Poo Bah is any overbearing and pompous authority, often claiming numerous titles, roles or distinctions and frequently overplaying their hand. An overstuffed shirt. Someone who expects others to lick up to them for nothing. From a character in the 1885 Gilbert and Sullivan operetta The Mikado. Not to be confused with the Grand Pooh Bear, who is someone else again.

There's Larry again, trying to tell everyone what to do and swanning around like he's the Grand Poo Bah.

Quare on the Square

Dublin rhyming slang ("Quare" from the originally derogatory "queer" for gay, homosexual) for the reclining statue of Oscar Wilde, carved in County Cork from rocks of various colours. The statue is mounted on a boulder at one corner of Archbishop Ryan Park, Merrion Square, Dublin, opposite two metal columns inscribed with quotes from Wilde.

You've just got to come and see the tart with the cart and the quare on the square.
