Todays BWOTD is one anybody can put to good use: "You need to use your lugholes!"'Lugholes' = Ears So this effectively means "you need to listen". Popular slang terminology for ear(s) and is derived from Cockney Rhyming slang for Toby Jugs (lugs).
Clean out your lugholes! I can hear my Dad saying that to me when I didn't hear him the first time. After he said it, we would both laugh. Thanks for the memory! Sunny :)
I actually laughed at the explanation and how it's rhyming slang, and wondered how many wouldn't understand that any more than the word itself :))))
