You're a numbskull and I love you.

I've looked for opportunities to say "you big girls' blouse" to E.G., but it doesn't trip off the tongue yet.

There are some great ones here!

Doorknob - you gotta love that.

"You big girl's blouse"? Huh? Say what?

You all have greatly expanded my vocabulary!

It's a term that's used to describe someone who's making an unneccesary fuss.

Husband..."Oh, this is the worst cold I've ever had. I think I'll just stay in bed for a fortnight"

Wife..."Ah, yer big girl's blouse"

Lordie, what's the emphasis when it's said aloud?

My own favorite which has probably already been said is "Pinhead".

"Aaaaah!" said nice and looooong.

down a couple of notes.

"Yer big girl's blouse"...spoken at normal length, all the same note.

Well, that's how my Mum used to say it to me.

But what I can't figure out is if it's that you're a frilly pink blouse (and the "big" is just an intensifier, like "you big idiot") or if you're one of the blouses at "Avril Premier's House of Large Sizes".

Big is an intensifier, Soz.

It just means that some great hulking bloke is being a bit mamby pamby in his behaviour.

Who's this Avril Premier?

She's marvellous, you'd love her.

Thanks for the explanation! I'm about ready to unleash it, I think.

As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon."

I always found it hilarious that the name of the Southern Illinois University athletic teams was, until the early 1960s, the Maroons.

I cracked up whenever i saw their display in the Student Union.

An entire football team, and every mother's son of 'em a Maroon . . .

Here's another one......

Tosser!

Same as wanker, really, but in my neck of the woods it's much more common to hear "tosser" being hurled at someone.

"Oi, you tosser, you nearly ran me over"

In actual fact, I used this word about four or five posts ago.

Very unlike me.

You're a numbskull and I love you.
