‘Who’re you looking at?
‘I’m looking at you
With your eyes so blue
And you’re nose turned up
Like a kangaroo!’
‘Hi! You with the hair??’ You turn towards the speaker.
‘Not you! …….. Baldy!’
‘Hi! You with the hair like mine,
And mine like as ass’s tail!’
‘Luk at The Cow’s Lick!’
Pejorative comment on a boy’s fringe that falls equally to left and right of his head.
Threatening comment (not really meant of course) on the likely outcome of a confrontation ..

‘You’ll live a while yet..’ ..
less than supportive expression towards the complaining.. similarly,
‘You’ll over this and be as bad again!’
‘He fell into bad health’.
‘Health is the wealth of the world’.
‘If you haven’t your health, you’ve nothing’.

It would shake the teeth in your head (e.g. an ice-cold drink)
Thon one’s a bit carried (not the full shilling)
………………………. through-other
He’s failed away to scrapings
We can lick thumbs (we are in similar circumstances)
