Get on with your own knitting

An east Anglian English alternative for 'mind your own business'. Especially used by the older generation - and knitters.

Kevin: "Mate, you are making that pasta all wrong, you add pasta to sauce not sauce to pasta".
Derik: "Kevin, why don't get on with your own knitting unless you want to make dinner".

own up to my shit

When someone mocks you for not putting a price tag on the foreign objects you leave behind in the toilet it's art some might say, or when you frequently don't flush the toilet and someone notices your master piece. "Hey Sam I've been noticing you've been leaving behind presents in the works toilet 🚽 do you mind flushing it, it stinks." "Of course after you walk across Lego pieces and glass shards we'll have a deal pal."

own up to my shit action, verb, adjective should take part of owning up to your responsibility whether it's physical or imagery.

Hoisted by my own re'tard

Thwarted by one's own stupidity.

I do the same thing every week, expecting a different result. I'm continually hoisted by my own re'tard.
