Great line.


I read this yesterday and I laughed out loud. I think it is simply the most lovely expression I have heard in some time.

Considering the last expression I learned was 'camel toe' this one is pure class and is a perfect description of any number of people- myself included- I know.

  4. Beautiful description, fmc. It could be me on certain nights.

    Mind you, where I come from, alcoholics are often not recognised as such but pass out under the rubric of "good lads".

    Gin: 5 out of 7 Hebridean uncles prefer it.
