Buzzword and Slang Footles

Coal face 
disgrace 

Bad vibes 
from tribes

Dark art
at heart

Big deal
surreal

Uptight 
yeah right 

Sky high 
my eye

Who knew 
boohoo 

My god 
that’s odd

not half 
a laugh

High five 
alive 

Stock phrase 
daft craze 

Buzz word 
absurd 

Smart tek
brain wreck 

Sour pus
missed bus

High horse 
off-course 

Slow coach 
cockroach 

Big cheese 
feels squeeze

Sore thumb
by gum

Hells bells 
death knells

Fast lane 
Insane 

Bored stiff 
with gif

Calm down 
you clown 

Joe soap
might cope 

John dough
skid row 

Jackpot 
great scott

Long run 
such fun

Clean sweep 
knee deep

Bon mot
for show 

Quick quip
takes dip

False dawn
a yawn

Great jpb with these. One time on a long trip by car, I came up with two or three hundred using a rhyme book and now I can't seem to locate them all. Only the ones I found have been posted now. I sure hope I come across my file I made for my footles. Brian is sure to like these. It's even better if you give a title like a joke for each one!
