He's been reading too much Spike Milligan.

We’ve come to a sudden halt. I get off the floor. A look out of the window shows gangers on the line, some shouting ‘twixt engine driver and gangers. Finally shouts and a whistle blowing, we chuff chuff forward. We proceed in fits and starts, starts and fits, then farts and stits.

And lo! there was darkness on the land. It was called the Simplon Tunnel. Icy cold air squirts through the crevices in the trousers and fibrillates the Brinjalls. Soon we are out of war-torn Italy into peaceful money-mad Switzerland. Customs officers have boarded at Domodossola and are checking Passports. “Piss Pots…all Piss Pots pleasea,” they are calling. Two enter our cabin. No, we are travelling on the King’s Warrant and don’t need Piss Pots, but wish them well in their search. The lighthearted banter and laughter between Len and myself brings facial sneers, constant nudges and silent stares of hatred from our fellow passengers. People are like that. If you don’t understand them, hate them. What better species to drop the Bomb on! Alas they outnumber us.

^^^^ That makes sense.

Any respectable bank would otherwise have rephrased that profane term to something like: "Urine containers" Smile

Als een potvis in een pispot pist, heb je een pispot vol potvispis.

The above looks like Dutch - So I gave it a turn in uncle Google's translator.
The translation into English seems somewhat incomplete, but I get the picture Shocked

Google's pronunciation in Dutch is kind of funny.

Haha, pisspot. In the UK that's what we call someone who drinks a bit too much.

For me the fun starts at "potvis" - It is somewhat funny in Danish, especially when pronounced in Dutch.

Wow, to think I thought mine demanding WU confirmation peppers was bizarre! I guess it's all a crap shoot.

I knew that one (being Dutch speaking myself) Laughing

No way to translate it properly though Laughing

I see an analogy to a Danish saying:
You can bring a horse the water, but you can't make it drink

Dutch version:
You can't bring a potvis to the pisspot but you can make it piss.

Maybe I'm a bit (lot) weird, but that's what I read Shocked

Make sure you send a current pisspot and not an old one.

^^^ Bravo, you forgot the Lady J adapter that goes with it for the female gender. (LADY J female urinary director adapter) Laughing

I am sorry I just could not help myself. Laughing

@ Chuda: way wrong Laughing

Here we go:

"When a potvis pisses in the pisspot, you have a pisspot full of potvis piss"

I'm sure the native English speakers still wonder what we are talking about Laughing

Posted: Tue May 08, 2012 2:08 pm

I know I'm confused...

When I google "potvis" this is what I get.

NSFW LINKY NSFE for that matter.

Hey Chuda,
Brought a smile to my face. I hadn't heard that for many a long year when my father was alive.
I think the second formate is the correct one. Just took me back.
mung tak.

P.J O'Rourke on a visit to Lebanon...

“Bassboat.” “Bizport.” “Passboot.” “Pisspot.” It’s the one English word every Lebanese understands and no Lebanese can say. The first, deepest and most enduring impression from a visit to Lebanon is an endless series of faces, with gun barrels, poking through the car window and mispronouncing your travel documents.”
