This is a question More Fire!

It's nearly ten YEARS since we last asked a question about fires.

Channel your inner neanderthal and tell us about fires, mostly to shut up that smug fucker that's made an oh-so-clever "wheel".

As this is a story from your school days, I feel fully justified in issuing "chinny reckon" as a response.

If you disbelieve someone in the playground,
You can sarcastically agree whilst saying "Yeah, I reckon!" and scratching your chin theatrically. "Chinny Reckon!" is a variation on this theme.

Or I Could Have Googled "Chinny Reckon".....
So you don't believe me? Fair enough. I still don't know how anyone didn't see anything.

I totally rule.

Once I'd gotten to secondary school, "chinny reckon" had been replaced with the slightly more succinct "beard!", and the chin-stroking action was lost.
We then found some pricks in the year below us had turned that into "barbe" which, if anything, sounded even more stupid.

Jimmy Hill!
Chinny Reckon derives from the footballer Jimmy Hill, who was disbelieved for reasons I never knew and had an abnormally large chin: www.childofthe1980s.com/2008/01/18/chinny-reckon/

Just in case you wondered.

I always thought it came from stroking your imaginary beard, that had grown out whilst the object of your mockery told their unbelievable tale,
and Jimmy Hill got associated as you'd coincidentally be miming the shape of his chin.

always thought it
was a bastardization of 'BY NEPTUNES GREEN BEARD!' which I guess you would exclaim if you were an offended gentleman in one of those leather seated book club thingies.

Careful. My friend went to karate classes, and learned how to do a death punch.
He's not allowed to show us, though.
