Oh dear! I used to have an expression for my unwillingness to carry out
a requested task, or whatever. I used to reply "I'd rather stick my arm
in a mincer!".

I used it for many years, possibly irritating many people as I did so.

One day a new girl started at work in my office. I was just about to use
the expression, in her presence, when I noticed that she had an
artificial arm! I stopped using that expression there and then!

:-)


Cheers,
Norman.
