I don’t know how you would react, but the first time I heard my boss proclaim ‘tough titties!’ I did a double take.
Did she really just say the t-word? WHEN TALKING TO A CLIENT?!?! Dear Lord!
My boss says a lot of things I find amusing, but these are the three that come up the most.
Tough titties
a.) An insincere or sarcastic way of saying “that’s too bad”, or “deal with it”
b.) Short version of the phrase “‘Tough titty’, said the kitty, when the milk went dry.”
Doddle

informal (Brit) something easily accomplished.
How’s your father
a.) Slap ‘n’ tickle; Bit of the other; casual sexual relations; Origin in World War II, English soldiers in France expected that an old French lady with grey hair, whom their father had bonked during the First World War might come up to them and ask this.“Took her round the bike shed for a bit of how’s-your-father”;“I don’t want you two getting up to any how’s-your-father while we’re out!”
b.) Defunct Thursday night at The New Globe (where Queen Mary students get pisssssssssed).
I still can’t bring myself to say tough titty, but maybe I’ll force myself to say it around my grandparents because the look on their faces would be priceless.Happy hump day!Amy x
