Chasing The Jockey

Chasing The Jockey

I like a laugh. The first time I heard some of the following expressions, I laughed out loud. They’re a variation on the more common “I could eat a horse”. I’d like to share a little laughter. These are expressions describing “feeling hungry” and have come from a number of sources. I have credited the teller, where possible, in brackets:

“I could eat the fingers off a child’s foot”

“I could eat the hind leg of the Lamb of God”

“I could eat a horse and chase the jockey” (my father in law)

“I could eat a buttered donkey” (@michellegallen)

“I could chew the arse of a sow through a rope chair” (@michellegallen)

If you know any more in a similar vein, please let me know.
