Well known phrases and sayings

[SparkOut]

Well I knew it would be easy, given that we had this one before.
What do you mean you forgot it already?
It was only in 2008!

Sparkout, I forget what I did last week!

Whereas I can't remember breakfast today.
I'm pretty sure it didn't involve root vegetables though and nobody was talking fancy.

[Bunnylump]

Well, that's a relief! I don't much fancy parsnips (buttered or plain) for breakfast. Your go.
(It was fancy words butter no parsnips)

[SparkOut]

I think of this one as:
T C C W T W S T S

(Or you could just stop after the first S)

but apparently a more common version of the saying is:
T C C H N S

[LAT]

It's interesting how there are different versions of what is basically the same saying, eg I always knew the previous one as Fine words rather than Fancy but the end result is pretty much the same.

Having said that I am currently stumped on the latest, whichever version I try to solve.

[SparkOut]

The important words are capitalised, and a bit of a hint included:

t C's C w t w S (t s)

t C's C h n S

This may again be a bit subjective. And of course the essence would be the same if the first C were an S. It would make the same sense if the second C were a K but that wouldn't resemble the "common" phrase. If it is "common" at all.

[SparkOut]

You could also change the first C to S and use the synonym to create essentially the same phrase.

[SparkOut]

The C or the alternative S are interchangeable as synonyms for a practioner of the same profession. Identifying which should make clear what the original S stands for.

[SparkOut]

C _ _ _ _ _ _ ' s / S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ' s

[LAT]

Aha, that helped, I think! Of course I could be talking a load of C- - - - - - s!

[SparkOut]

I think you should tell what you make of the phrase (or phrases) then

[LAT]

The cobbler's children wear the worst shoes? (not sure about the final TS, maybe Tis said?)
or
The cobbler's children have no shoes?

With possible substitutes as suggested of Shoemaker and Kids?

[SparkOut]

Correct in all respects except The Cobbler's Children Wear The Worst Shoes To School.

Apparently it's not that well known a phrase

[Bunnylump]

I have always said that one as The cobbler's children are the worst shod. In this house it's the air conditioning engineer's house is the worst ventilated.

[SparkOut]

The cobbler's children wear the worst shoes? (not sure about the final TS, maybe Tis said?)
or
The cobbler's children have no shoes?

With possible substitutes as suggested of Shoemaker and Kids?

so next one?

[LAT]

S W T I I H

[SparkOut]
