It is no laughing matter when we talk about a man's girth. Many men would like to hide their beer belly guts.

Guts are common on men of a certain age, large ones, but they pose a grave health hazard. In a recent survey, 19% of men actually said they were proud of their beer bellies.

Bellies is a low word and entirely appropriate to a low subject. " But when some giant, horrible and grim,/ Enormous in his gait, and vast in ev'ry limb,/ Stalks tow'ring on; the swelling words must rise/ In just proportion to the monster's size."

(I think it's Pitt's translation of Vida imitating Virgil.)

Size doesn't matter. It's all in the laws of attraction!

Attraction is the prime mover, granted. But most ladies would contend that size does matter, a bit.

Bit by bit her analyst explored the deeper regions of her trembling heart. He charged £100 an hour and I could have done a better job myself and bought her a new hat into the bargain.

Bargain basements are all right in theory but usually they don't have what you want, in your size or colour. I don't frequent them often.

Often the bridesmaid but rarely the bride one hears from time to time. What's the meaning of this expression?

"Expression" is not a word which readily lends itself to beinning the answer to a question. However, I will say, having made due allowance for Australian intellectual prowess that " often the bridesmaid but rarely the bride" refers to popular ladies who labour under the burden of being chosen regularly as bridesmaids for their ability to present the bride in the best possible light because were it to be otherwise the bridegroom may be tempted to a last minute change of heart.

Heart breaker is usually a man who makes a woman feel bad or sad. However it can also mean a gold-digging bitch.

Bitch puppies of the human kind are something of a trial. I am currently being subjected, only temporarily, to one roaming around my residence
who hasn't the slightest aesthetic sense regarding any subject whatsoever and it makes me wonder that its a miracle how we train them up to being the sweet domestic animals they are when they mature.

Mature dog help children learn empathy and responsibility. You could not choose a better friend for your children than an adult dog, because they play well, listen to their problems without passing judgment, give them unconditional love and stay close to them.

Them, the accusative of they, is often used wrongly as the subject of the sentence by Devonians and suchlike; I remember a sentence said to me by a woman warning me against patting her dog : Us don't want to see 'un bite 'ee.

Uncouth women have been the bane of my life. I could have been rich and famous had I only ever encountered refined intellectual specimens.

Specimens are usually obtained from individuals for analyses and diagnosis. This must be done by qualified and trained medical staff.

Staff at British hospitals are reputedly embarrassed to mention the obese nature of many pregnant women who come to the antenatal clinics. Therefore the equipment breaks and the women are in danger of serious illness.

Illness is not the only reason for absence from the workplace. Among other reasons according to latest research, are idleness, drunkenness, dishonesty, pursuit of sexual gratification, and visits to the beauty parlour.

Parlour politics engage the attentions of the chattering classes, Personally I'd rather pursue idleness, drunkennes, sexual gratification and beauty treatments.

Treatments of the nature you propose have a distinct tendency to be quickly worn out. When that happens it is best to retire for a few hours rest and then start again.
