Dumb as a doorknob, dense as a block of wood...

[Shibby]

So I was talking with my girlfriend (who is from Poland) and she was telling me about phrases used in polish like these. The one's she said didn't really make sense to me. But I was telling her a few that I knew. What are some you know and what do they mean.

(Oh and on a side note, What is a boo? as in "You're my Boo" She also asked me that and it was a word I knew when used in contex, but not exactly waht it mean.)


Dense as a block of wood - Hard Headed
Dumb as a Doorknob - Just dumb
A few fries short of a happy meal - Kinda of loony
Not the brightest crayon in the box - Not smart

I might be a little dense myself because I cant figure out what the fuck your talking about. :)

[Shibby]

I mean what other little phrases like the ones I gave have you heard or used.

stupid as a goat....of course about a person being stupid.
hmm, Shibby mentioned already that the Polish ones do not really make sense in English.

Hey shibby, boo is a double definition slang.

1. it is used as a term of endearment i.e. that's my boo. More than likely it is a result of mispronouncing Beu=bo. Mainly used by blacks.

2. an old racist slang word used mainly in the South in reference to Blacks. The common form of the word is jigaboo or shortened to boo. See also spook.

Probably more info than you wanted.
