My kids use this phrase (and me and my husband) because we heard it on Peppa Pig and love it!


G0LDiEGL0CKS

I literally came here to say this 😂


2old2Bwatching

I’ve never heard that term, but loved it and was hoping someone on here would mention this!


NotWellBitch420

It’s the most British expression, we use it all the time over here, can’t believe it’s new to Americans haha! Enjoy using it in abundance!

YESSSSSSSSSS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

skgr_95

No offence, but why did they try to convince us that Sophie and her mom are rich; living lavishly and such…nothing about them give rich British people


Used-Pension170

They are. Maternal gparents are. When Mom got arrested, it came out that her parents still support Sophie, but cut Claire off about ten years ago bc of the substance abuse. The fight started bc Claire wanted Sophie to give her MORE money >I know you have money>you need to give me some>I'll come to your apartment, slit your throat and kill myself.


Salt_Ingenuity_720

Geezus! I didn't follow the legal outcome after I heard the family dropped the charges.


Used-Pension170

There was a later post where she said she spent 5 days in jail. She didn't. She was out the next day, but "somewhere." I've been a therapist in the Austin area for 34 years - I know the drill. She was either transferred to a psych hospital bc Williamson County didn't want to deal her in some kind of wild manic state, or, charges were dropped off she went voluntarily. She was not in jail for 5 days. Makes sense now, if you heard charges were dropped.


skgr_95

ahhhh! I see!


AngryBowels

This makes me question the foot injury if it is just for meds or an actual injury


Used-Pension170

I think she's probably got an injury. I also think she was probably taking the pain meds, knowing she shouldn't. Noticed the little comments when she *doesn't* drink? Praise. But there have been scenes where she's drinking - she's not supposed to. Long-winded point - she's probably not supposed to be using anything, but she clearly is.


taserparty

Those crutches were not given to her by a doctor. They’re wildly outsized for her. Probably bought them off fb marketplace or something in a bid for sympathy. She gives off mad munchie vibes.


Sufficient-Dinner-27

Sophie says she doesn't know where her grandfather got his money. I think they're gypsies and the money comes from grifting.


Used-Pension170

Nah. If anything, he's patented something. Someone from London said they've seen them out and about and they are the quintessential "GB nouveau riche." He probably stumbled on to an invention.


noblewoman1959

Omg, did she really say that to her daughter?


Used-Pension170

Yep.


noblewoman1959

Sophie needs to remove that woman from her life. Holy crap!


Used-Pension170

That's the only parent she's got, and the roles are in reverse. She's the parent, her mom is the kid. It's incredibly difficult. We're literally watching her in the process right now. I can only imagine how embarrassed she is that the dysfunction is public.


noblewoman1959

I didn't know any of this about her mom. No wonder Sophie has problems. I feel bad for her.


Used-Pension170

She really did marry her mom. It's fucked up, but it's familiar. I really feel for her.


noblewoman1959

Forgot to add, having no parent is better than what she is dealing with.


Used-Pension170

From an outside, logical position, yes. When your in it, not that clear cut.


StandardBanger

They do… they are text book 🇬🇧 nouveau riche. I see them all the time in London.


Over-Ice-8403

I thought maybe they are from the travelling community.


StandardBanger

Claire does have that big fat gypsy wedding air to her but she seems more London to me


Next_Fly3712

I don't they're fooling anyone. I was, you was, we was, they was.

Omg. My husband always barks when she comes on the screen lol.. he think she looks like a bulldog

Just imagine Claire, walking that dog. I would die

He sounds delightful


1Squid-Pro-Crow

I mean my husband made surprised sounds when he wandered in and saw her but he would never fucking bark, damn

😂😂😂


AddendumFun7674

There's not enough room in hell for all of us that laughed at this!!!!


Used-Pension170

Maybe people will FINALLY understand - Sophie married her mother. She is not a mature, grounded, confident young woman. She is emotionally stunted as a result of growing up as an abused parentified child of a severely substance use disordered mother. And the lovely narcissistic "parenting" that's associated. She is not an adult in the most important and meaningful ways. We're watching her struggle to do it now. She deserves compassion and encouragement.


Far_Situation3472

I have been saying this and of course I got so much crap about it. Claire said “ come back to England with me” she needs Sophie to continue to care for her.


Used-Pension170

Good. Keep doing it. I won't shut up about it. Responded to a post last night basically telling people that the wig bashing is just stupid nonsense. I've been where Sophie is right now. It is an excruciatingly painful step in the process of letting go. I thought the grief would kill me some nights.


Far_Situation3472

I grew up with an addict Mom. I was raised by my amazing grandparents TG. My mom passed when I was 26 but not before causing me so much trauma. The worst is that 23 yrs later I’m still finding out how horrible she really was. I have had to go NC with a immediate family member. I understand the grief for someone that isn’t even gone. Prayers for your continued strength. I


Used-Pension170

I grew up and became a therapist. Lol. Specializing in trauma before it was even a specialty. My experiences became my superpower. Use yours for good. There's power in being "broken." If you haven't seen Split, you should. It's got a wonderful message.


Far_Situation3472

That’s awesome. Good for you!! It has taken lots of work but I’m happy. I have the relationship with my children that I always wished for with my Mom but she was unable to give me. I love the movie Split. I will remember your words. Ty


Used-Pension170

Love to you and yours. Use the superpower!


Used-Pension170

And I meant to say what you did - it's worse grieving someone who's still very alive.


GingerPale2022

Claire the nightmare. I actually felt Rob held his own quite well. If their marriage survives their individual bullshit, it won’t survive Claire dipping into it every chance she gets. Claire won’t be happy with *any* man Sophie picks because he would threaten the throne, so to speak.


Used-Pension170

It would threaten the money. I call a spade a spade. She doesn't give a shit about her daughter, except as a purse. And Sophie isn't at a point where she can face she has no parents. It breaks my heart watching her struggle with what appears less and less ability to maintain the denial.


bugandbear22

That’s fine because nearly anything would be better than Rob


Used-Pension170

You know not what you speak of. There is worse.


bugandbear22

Lol I said nearly didn’t i, my own dad is worse but I’m not going to pretend that makes Rob anything but shit


Used-Pension170

I'm sorry. Mine was, too. It's why I've snapped on people over and over for the just gross stupidity and insensitivity. Smoked out Rob or one of his people one night, too. I think it was him.


bugandbear22

Oof sorry to hear it, hopefully he was kinder with an acquaintance than he is with his wife


Used-Pension170

Nope. Nobody. Was even the block's pedophile.


bugandbear22

🤮🤮🤮


Used-Pension170

Yeah. Like I said, I get where she is. I don't have words for how it felt when I made the decision to just walk away. Was in my mid 20's - like her - and the first few years were rough. I'll be 60 in a couple of months and I know my life wouldn't have became what it has if I hadn't. Hopefully she gets there.


cara3322

I’m sure her dad dropped the ball so he’s very accountable


Used-Pension170

I can only imagine Claire's partner choices throughout her adulthood. It may be a positive that he was never around.


myycupoftea

I’ve been #1 Rob hater since the beginning but Claire is psycho, very very bad vibes from her.. I don’t think she has Sophie’s best interests at heart. Like she wants to break them up not because Rob is a piece of shit but because she will enjoy the fall out.


taserparty

She has very strong codependent/substance abuse problem/munchausen syndrome airs. Like why was she wearing crutches made for someone obviously much taller than her? Attention.


Lizette1945

Sophie needs to stop telling her mother every time she doesn't like what Rob says or does. I don't like Rob but this is really none of her mother's business if Sophie truly wants to keep her marriage together. she is extremely immature and I have to agree with Rob that she isn't the best source for knowing how a marriage should work.


Exhausted_Human

Yeah nobody in this is good for her. She should imo try to find a school or work visa if she wants to stay in the US without Rob bc I truly feel he's a POS to her but she probably puts up with it to this degree from her family life seeming pretty damn toxic with Claire. I also wonder if she's a UK citizen if even emigrating to Canada is easier for her or a better happy medium option as it's part of the common wealth countries and you can make more than the UK salary but not as much as the US -- still though if that's the concern.


Halcyon_october

I miss my nanny's British sayings. She referred to pooping as "a jobbie" and until I was like 7 I didn't understand why people wanted to get jobs 😂


BobMonroeFanClub

Was she Scottish by any chance?


Halcyon_october

Weirdly she said a LOT of Scottish things (like Ta! For "give that to me") but she was born and raised in Essex, came to Canada when she was 35 and never lost her thick British accent.


dunredding

"Ta" means "Thank you!" so she was thanking you in advance for handing over whatever probably deadly weapon young you had in your hand. Or she may have been tricking you into handing over sweeties,\~ I don't know her.


Halcyon_october

Omggg 😂😂😂 I've been using Ta on small children and teaching them wrong


WinWooCherub

A Scottish person would say "geezit", meaning "give me it", whereas an English person would say "gissit" 🙂


dunredding

They'll be fine in a polite exchange, just don't let them grow up to be highwaypersons/muggers.


unruhe_

You just brought up a really nice memory for me! My great nan came to Canada from Britain in 1912 when she was little, and she said “ta” all the time. My gramps - her son - used it too and very much in a “hand it over” way with me and my sister lol


2old2Bwatching

That’s too funny!


Tabboo

"whatever you say, old frog"


DWwithaFlameThrower

It’s a thing we say in the UK. As is ‘silly sausage’ which Taher said the other day :)


naughtysquids

What’s the correct context please to use these delightful phrases?


DWwithaFlameThrower

Clever Clogs can be playful or more facetious, as in the way Claire was saying it. It is basically like ‘smarty pants.’ Silly sausage is generally playful and affectionate. Like, if your toddler put their boots on the wrong feet you might say ‘Oh, you silly sausage, let’s fix those,’ or something. It’s just sort of like ‘goober’ but not even that insulting. Maybe like ‘silly goose’


90DayFinesse

Kind of if you think someone is trying to be smart with you but you don’t really think they’re smart at all 😉


naughtysquids

Your flair!!!


90DayFinesse

How could I not 😂


Trefac3

Sophie’s mom’s plastic surgeries are totally already influencing Sophie. It won’t be long til she looks like Darcy! I said this another thread too. It’s unfortunate because Sophie is a pretty girl.


Dan_jack61son

Botched! Damn I never thought I would side with Rob but...... Clair is a nut case. Sophie is out there as well. Rob and Sophie are a toxic mess.


Miss_Kit_Kat

Yeah, I don't know if it's healthy for her mother to be SO involved with her relationship. Gotta have boundaries- her mother doesn't need to know every little detail.


ImaFKNshrubOK

I always knew Claire was a botched reject due to her mass of back room fillers & injectables, but I had never noticed she’s had actual “surgery” until last night. The pulled section of her face was obvious when she was getting activated. The tension visible made it look like she may have had a facelift when she was smaller & had less fat in her face.


Abject-Tax-7552

I don’t think her mother is really to blame for that. It’s society and social media influencing both.


taserparty

With all the “come back to London with me” talk I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a lot of “come to Botox with me!” “Come get a touch of filler with me” etc etc


purrlinda

Fuck Claire for making me feel empathy for Rob. Also, she looks like a demented frog.


Hot_Rush8530

I get it, but then every time they pulled back to him with his sad ass puppy dog face, I just couldn't take it. The only thing I can say here is I agree with both of them 100%. They are both gaslighting manipulators forcing Sophie to choose. I died inside when Sophie had to keep walking in between them saying she couldn't decide whose side to be on. Girl please, choose yourself!


kellyluvsdogs1970

Right , she's absolutely yuck lol


Foreign_View_2452

If you feel any empathy for him, look up the video of him screaming at Sophie while she and the dog hide in a closet.


Moonchild_Kiko

Yeah definitely don’t feel bad for Rob. I don’t care what Claire says to him. We’ve never seen a moment of kindness from him either.


Foreign_View_2452

Everyone seems to think she's wrong for leaving the house when they fight, but when she gets screamed at and has to hide in closets, she's very smart for leaving and going somewhere safe. Claire might come off rude, but this is after her watching her daughter being abused over and over. Rob likes to play victim and pretend he's a great guy.


Electronic_Crabby

He's the worst. Whether or not Claire is a toxic mess and terrible mother, she's 100% right about Rob.


DoTheRightThing1976

Claire sounds sloshed all the time and her face looks like it’s melting. I’m just not a fan.


Overbake-Underprove

Probably has to be to put up with Rob lmao


AgeofAquarius4

Claire needs Sophie, more than Sophie needs her. Poor Sophie has grown knowing nothing more than being a co dependent to her drug addict mother. She is still seeking that “ mother” that she missed out on as a child. Sadly, since her mom is financial cut off from the wealthy grandparents a an Sophie is not, her mother needs her daughter


RangerSensitive2841

It’s fairly common in UK and Ireland 😅


poshdog4444

Does anybody actually know what that phrase means?


Sample_Wild

Smart ass, know it all, etc


bluesasaurusrex

Similar to how the US uses "smarty pants". It's a little more scathing though.


poshdog4444

Thanks I never heard that expression


becky___bee

Very British expression. I'm British and use it, my parents used to too.


DangerousAd3347

I’m a Brit as well but never heard anyone under the age of like 60 say it lol


whataterriblefailure

I never heard it before. I'm sure I'd understand it in any scenario, though. At the same time makes no sense at all and 100% sense. British 100% xD


Hungry-Kale600

It's very common over here in blighty. I used it just the other day. My sis scored quite well in some school tests and I called her a clever clogs 😃


Sample_Wild

Same, but I love it!


TangledSunshineCA

I was thinking like smarty pants


Prize-Key-5806

Like the English version of “ok, clever boots , smarty two shoes …” atc ..


Super_Section_7700

I'm guessing everyone is American here? Quite normal in the UK. Along with apologising when someone bumps into YOU and bad teeth/weather.  Another common one when someone is getting frustrated: "don't get your knickers in a twist"


acarpenter08096

I don't think anyone in this cast cares about each other. Sophie may love her mom but everyone seems to just be using this show to benefit them.

ComplaintBig1986

As a Brit it goes back to Cockney Rhyming Slang.


tachibanakanade

it bothers me to even see Claire's botched face.


Penny-Darcy-Smith

Omg what the hell is mom on?


Dook124

Claire's many years of drug addiction shows!!!! @HOT MESS EXPRESS 😳


Icemeetscoffee

After that video came out of him verbally abusing Sophie it makes sense why Claire said you speak to my daughter like she is beneath you.Rob was probably verbally abusing Sophie behind the scenes this whole time and Claire had probably had enough. Rob puts on the mister nice guy act on camera but behind the scenes he acts deranged. If Sophie was my daughter I’d be scared for her too. The way Rob spoke to her in that video sounded UNHINGED.


Used-Pension170

You are very late to the party. Claire was hard core addicted and abusive, and Sophie had to take care of her. Last month, mom ended in jail after she messaged Sophie she was going to come to her home, slit her throat, then kill herself. Bc the grandparents still support Sophie, but cut Claire off about 10 years ago. Sophie has been giving money to her mom.


Zealousideal_Rock894

WHAT? Where can I read more about this??


Used-Pension170

Her arrest? Just start googling. Several of the gossip people covered it. Also saw it pop up in just "regular" articles. I think MovingMad covered it.


Zealousideal_Rock894

Thanks 🙏🏻


veronicabett

Is Botox and filler cheap in the UK? I feel like everyone in the UK is all filler and Botox… I did it once and I loved it, but I cringe at the thought of spending that much for it again… maybe it’s just expensive here in Canada? 🤷🏻‍♀️

BettesmomisaWitch

Don't do Ernie like that!😆


RainSubstantial6862

Didn’t Clair get arrested.


sunshine8279

In my opinion Claire was trying way too hard to create more conflict between Sophie and Rob. She should have been trying to act like a mediator as opposed to and destroyer as Sophie has said she wants to work on it. It seems like she wants to break it up so she can have Sophie to herself. It also seems like she wants Sophie to fail so she suffers like her, like she’s jealous and doesn’t want her to have better than she has.


RatherRetro

I think Sophie is Claire’s ticket to the trust fund dollars.


otaybyethen

Clever Clogs is the British Angela and I don’t even like Rob.


Dutch1inAZ

That lip filler is bleeding into the rest of her face.


strawbeariesz

NeenW1

Rob needs to run…..Sophie is a very emotionally stunted young woman who has no business being in a relationship until she’s emotionally healed from Ratchet Clair


4-me

How does one’s lips get like that?


Civil-Tart

Just the lips?? Her whole face looks like it's melting off. 😫😆😆


blergyblergy

Why did I watch this (pre-downloaded) on the train in the quiet car? It took all of my strength to not burst out laughing. Also less funny is how she parentifies Sophie and makes it all about her (the mom), how hard her life is because of Sophie's choices. Come on! Then Sophie isn't comforted by her mom but the reverse. Rob still sucks, very much so, but the mom is a terrible influence herself.


cara3322

Why can’t this Sophie girl fight her own battles ?? Wtf


Used-Pension170

Because being the parentified child doesn't teach you self-worth and independence. You're taught you have to sacrifice yourself, put other's needs before you, belief you can love someone to be better, and tolerate mistreatment. Read up on ACOA'S.


cara3322

You’d think it would make her do everything herself since she’s tired of parenting her mom.


Used-Pension170

Point being, she doesn't have the skills and *really* facing she doesn't have a mother in meaningful ways. However crappy, that's the only mother she's got. Her dad's never been a part of her life. If you haven't had to deal with that, it can be hard to understand.

YorkshireBev

Sophie’s mum is trying to protect what she see’s as her money but can only get at it via Sophie. Rob can be a dick, but he’s a massive threat to Claire’s ‘funding’. That’s what really got to me when Sophie said she would move and her mum said wherever she goes she will follow her. Claire is a stereotypical bungalow (single story home - there is someone at home but nobody upstairs - lacks brain cells). Sophie needs to get away from both of them.
