The article sounds more like it's taking the piss out of anyone who thinks that's remotely believable to me but hey ho...
Oh look, a locked thread about Jay ...

Before this gets locked, last night someone posted a hilarious post about Emma, Mark and Matt, it was so good, does anyone have it as it has sadly gone.

I can't find any local expression that Jay could have been using except a majority of people saying "get over it" , "it doesn't mean anything", "Jay's lovely" ...

And yet it's been explained many times now that it was just a localism, a way of saying how uber-cute the little child was? I can see how it might have been a bit shocking at the time but surely once it's been explained - and it has been - you should just accept the explanation and stop using it against him?
Otherwise, it just looks like you're determined to have a go at him for the sake of it.
I was born 17 miles from Newark and grew up in Nottinghamshire and have never heard that phrase in my life. Someone might be so cute you'd put them in your pocket. But in a bag and kick it? Nope.

So, rather than accept it's an admittedly strange way of expressing delight at a child's cuteness which you're unfamiliar with, you'd prefer to believe that Jay actually wants to dismember a child, put it in a bag and kick it?
Right. Carry on.

Well there have been plenty on here who state that they have....I am from Kent my cousins live in Kent but in the country...we talk nothing alike and there some of there saying I have never heard of.
And Kent is not a big county.
Oh, look another repetitive thread about Jay.
Instead of cutting his hair he should've grown a moustache, every diabolical villain needs a good one to twirl.

How on earth did you reach that conclusion based on her post?
All she did was offer an opinion on the validity of it being a colloquialism.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this had the "feel", to me, of a genuine local saying.
Yes, it doesn't make sense, but then neither does "daft as a brush" or "gobsmacked". What!! Someone actually punched you in the face? How terrible!
And why, exactly, would you go to the foot of your stairs?

Yes cos that's clearly what I said, isn't it?!
I am rooting for Jay *because* he comes from Newark.
And we regularly eat up our kids like a big pie in our house, so clearly I should become a member of Toto cuelo
But...am curious that coming from Mansfield (which isn't that far away, trust me) I have never heard that phrase. So all those that have, where do you live?

It was at first...DS were right to remove it
The puzzling thing is that people say the thread was removed because of the bad jokes but they were in the spirit of Jay's comment, and in support of him in that sense. Perhaps Peter's fans reported it because Peter isn't as witty as Jay?

A) BeyonceCastle offered information not an opinion.
B) Viva.espana statement as Nina Blake mentioned, is not deducible from BeyonceCastle's comment. The effect of Viva.espana comment is to try close down discussion on the expression and claimed local idiom.
C) Nina-Blake - I agree with this except BeyonceCastle was providing specific information rather than an opinion. All that one could infer is that the idiom may not be from Newark or if it is from Newark it is not popular nor widely known even locally.

Some people from Newark last night said that they had heard the saying....I have no reason to believe that they were lying.

BIB - I was thinking on exactly the same lines. I'm sure mods are intelligent enough to see through such a transparent display though.

Sorry, Beyonce.
All I really meant is that Jay would only have said what he said if it was a completely familiar and instinctive way to him of expressing delight. I can see why it raised people's hackles but equally, the fact that it was an instinctive reaction on his part should - imo - negate any suggestion that it was meant in anything other than a big heart-melting reaction to a little child way. I'm Irish, we have stuff that would generate equal
I was raised in Nottinham until I was 16 and the most similar saying to cuteness that I heard was '' you look so delicious I could chop you up and pop you in a saucepan
How awful is that..........................however I do say it to my 3 year old Grandson who literally squeals with delight and says again! again!. I feel bad now
