Me being Catalan, a culture with many poop related phrases and traditions, I'm pretty fond of "when shit hit the fan"
post
"half assed" was quite funny
"Thank you for having me"
It's weird
Probably short for "thank you for having me over" or another word implied at the end.
"Thank you for having/picking/tolerating me as your guest"
"Thankyou for being had."
These kids run through the house like shit through a goose.
Native English speaker, never heard this one.
+1 for it's raining cats and dogs
But also
that's the way the cookie crumbles is just adorable
dinkin flicka just rolls off the tongue

Bob's your uncle is just... No. Who the fuck is Bob 😂
Like a fart in a skillet.
Apparently, "like a fart in ..." is a common thing. There's this website that shows movie scenes with certain phrases: Playphrase.

I've come across two "like a fart in the church" one, which I did not really understand. I think it is used for unpleasant situations.
American here. I live in a Northern urban area, and have never heard this. I wonder if it's regional or old or new. Looked it up, the internet says it's Appalachian, so, Eastern US. I might start using this now hahaha
From the Appalachian region of the US, I bring you:
"I'll cut the blood out of you!"
and more generally within the US (I think?):
"I'll clean your clock!"
Both are threatening a fight, one a little more graphically than the other. I don't think I've heard either in a very long time, and it was only ever from my grandmother that I'd heard the first phrase. Not directly, as in discussing idioms.
for some reason the nword is stuck in my head and popped up instantly when I read this
-_-
I don't know why
I guess because it's tabboo
