Sally Ann—(sl.) the Salvation Army (a charitable and religious organization to care for the poor and homeless):
- The Salvation Army? You’d never get me sleeping there…. Everyone knows you pick all sorts of things up from the Sally Ann.
San Fairy Ann—(a jocular representation of the French phrase “ca ne fait rien”) it doesn’t matter; it makes no difference (UK Army WWI):
- If anyone has a problem with that—which I doubt—then san fairy ann as we say.
