A stich in nine is a penny earned.

My boyfriend once said "stick that in your butt and poop it" and I've been in love with it ever since.

Make like a tree before you leap.

Edit: @Metzger Meister I am totally stealing that. Tell your bf I said thanks!

Burn that bridge after you've crossed it.

I've used this one before.
Or actually, "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it."

knitdan

That one was in City Slickers.

A bird in the hand is worth its weight in bushes.

When the going gets tough, do as the Romans do.

Whoever smelt it supplied it.

Do not ask what your country can do for you, just regret you have but one life to give.

A stitch in time puts hair on your chest.

(Seemingly fitting as I delivered this fucked up phrase earlier today when a friend asked if I was down for a movie.)

I'm down like a Charlie Brown, clown!

If the pope falls in woods does anyone hear it?

Yukira

A tree falling in the woods makes the sound of one hand clapping.

I say "it's not rocket surgery" a lot, but at this point I'm not sure I'm capable of correctly saying something isn't rocket science or brain surgery. Like, it started off as a joke and now is just something I say.

I guess it's a bag of cats.

Kakodaimonos

I will say "If the foo shits" quite often.

Älter

You are both probably too far along in your habits to change it at this point in your life anyway, I say keep rockin' it.

As they say, "You can't teach an old dog to look a gift horse in the mouth."

There is an Australian bit of slang that is quite common here and which I would love to see get more usage around the world:

"no wuckers"

Short for "no wucking furries (fah-rees, not the folks that dress up in fursuits)", which is a spoonerism of "no fucking worries".

Used as a positive affirmation - "I'll swing by with the welder on Sunday arvo, mate?" "No wuckers, bring a six-pack (of beers) too!"

Nah mate he's not pulling your leg there. It's a true blue bonzer ocker idiom from way back. It's grouse, I reckon.

I just double-checked my coffee to make sure it wasn't laced with something.

Rhyming slang is the greatest slang, any naysayers can grab their barrel o' and hit the frog 'n.
