safe as houses
A term from 19th Century Britain that uses a simile that is rather defunct. It stem from a time when houses were padlocked down and hidden in underground nuclear bunkers, along with whoever was in there, and burglary was less common than finding the bank of England without security guards... or so many old people would have you believe. Just use sarcasm to shut them the fuck up.
During the war....

popeye
Now discontinued cartoon from the forties and fifties about an oddly proportioned american sailor who constantly got into fights, where he was the underdog. He would, at a pivotal point, consume spinach, and become immediatley brawnier as a result. Immensely popular, and famed for his arch-enemy bluto, girlfriend Olive Oil, and his ridiculously large biceps. He also had one squinted eye, one that protruded, a speech impediment, a pipe, and incoherant ramblings that he would use to amuse himself.
The cartoon was a vector to get kids eating more greens so the could grow up to be just like him.

fogie
An elderly person, usually someone who constantly finds fault with everything and reminiscs to times of WWII. Spends many hours a day waiting for buses because their children refuse to listen to them while driving. Usually working class and annoying to most. Most people will just attempt to ignore them rather than tell them to be quiet.
"Oh no we never 'ad none of that during the war. Ladies always covered themselves up, especially during the courtin' period. Oh the youth of today. We had respect for our elders back then. None of this attacks on the elderly, and we blah blah blah"
"Shut the fuck up before I break your face and steal your pension. I hate old fogies."

american car
A car made in North America. Stereotyped to be large, ugly, slow, thirsty, poorly manufactured, terrible handling and shoddy. For the most part, this stereotype rings true. Just look at all the fanboys who defined corvette. It is a really awful car with shit handling, nil suspension, dreadful ride, alcoholic consumption, abismal comfort level, but these jackasses seems to like cheap cars that go well in staright lines, because american roads don't have corners.
Wow, 90K miles, isn't that a lot... /sarcasm
The cadillac has 99,995 miles on the clock. The scrap yard is six miles away, and I only have the energy to push it half a mile- see my dilema?
