Whenever friends and I would be on the phone with each other, and someone would walk in the room that was the subject of what we are talking about, or otherwise would prevent us from saying what we wanted, we would say "the cat's on the roof" (since cats do that a lot around here) to signal that we couldn't respond without being busted. Unfortunatly, the saying spread around so much that everyone knew what it meant, and we had to stop using it. Its been a while, so now we can again. (ed: not sany more!!)

former Prime Ministers Trudeau's answer when asked what he said by the speaker of the house, he really said fucking bullshit, thus it has that meaning. A euphemistic substitution for "fuck" or "fuck off". Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau caused a minor scandal when opposition MPs claimed he had mouthed the words "Fuck off" to them in the House of Commons in February 1971. Pressed by journalists, Trudeau later unconvincingly stated he may have said (or mouthed) "fuddle duddle or something like that." Trudeau likely got the word "fuddle duddle" from the official Hansard transcript of his words for that parliamentary session. The Hansard reporter couldn't make out (or chose not to record verbatim) what Trudeau had mouthed, and chose to write down the now-infamous phrase instead. The phrase then took on a humorous connotation for Canadians.

In Australia, when we were kids, and most people had tin/iron roofs, we used to throw a rock on the roof, and run like hell!! Used to make a helluva noise, especially on a clear night. It was worse if you were inside the house...a good throw meant the rock would clatter down the roof, until it reached the gutter, or fell over the edge.
