go boil your head


an insult, roughly equivalent to get lost or in some cases go f-ck yourself. as far as i can tell, it is mainly used in britain.

variation exists: awa’ an’ bile yer heid! (scottish)

the origins of this phrase are as follows, from http://www.phrases.org.uk:

“this relates to the fact that in south pacific societies cooked food was ‘noa’ or the opposite of tapu (tapu is loosely translated as sacred though it has a deeper meaning than that). the head was considered the most sacred part of the body and one doesn’t usually pat children on the head, or stroke a person’s hair. an exhortation to turn your head into cooked food was regarded as the greatest possible insult.”

weird stuff.
oh, go boil your head, you fermented b-st-rd.
