Cobblers

Today, my husband is so antisocial that when our cul-de-sac held a street party, he threw a half empty Pepsi out of our bedroom window to make us stop playing music. It hit our local vicar. When I demanded he apologise, he just shouted, "Cobblers to the lot of you", and shut the window. FML

Evidently “cobblers” is Cockney rhyming slang for testicles. I’m not sure where this story took place, but the farther from the UK it is, the more bizarre it is that someone used Cockney for “suck my balls” as a retort to someone asking for an apology.

What are you going to do when the shoemakers show up? I'll bet the vicar thinks your husband needs them to repair his sole!

You could have sent the poor guy to a hotel for a day so he didn't have to hear it. He couldn't have stopped you, but you didn't have to make him listen to all that noise on his doorstep. I wouldn't want it myself, but if I knew it was coming I'd make arrangements to avoid it.
