Yesterday, the Girlie (a friend of mine) repeated a line she'd heard in a meeting. The woman who said it was trying to get everyone on the same page for a project, when she spouted: "We all need to get our poop in a group."
Okay. What the fuck does that mean? Poop in a group? I went ahead and Googled it. Sure enough, there are like four pages of results, including a reference in a rather weighty looking report on expanding tourism in Montanta. (Note to Montana officials, fecal references are not good tagline material here in the Midwest).
Then again, poop-oriented cliches do abound. There's the underutilized "Did a pigeon poop in your ears?" The allusion to the act itself with the popular, "I dropped the kids off at the pool." And, of course, the familiar "Don't be a party pooper!" (Which is kind of gross if you visualize the accused literally ruining the festivities with a bowel movement).
I'm asking any visitors to the DWG: What's the most disgusting and/or obscure cliche you've heard? Doesn't have to refer to poop. Thanks. (DWG Weight: 234 lbs.)

I don't know whether to shit or wind my watch. Doesn't seem like much of a choice--if you have to shit, you have to shit, and your watch needs winding or it doesn't--but as a phrase, it is vivid, disgusting, and has staying power. I first heard the phrase used by George Carlin about 30 years ago; it was oddly funny then, and remains so today.
>We all need to get our poop in a group.
...sounds like something your sister would say...
