Purveyor of fine nonsense
... but don't!
Firstly, if "willy" is slang for a gentleman's ladypleaser, then surely "willemina" should be its opposite?
And if a lightly cooked steak is said to be "rare", then shouldn't the waiter ask, "would sir like sir's steak rare, not particularly scarce, or common as muck?"
Futhermore, if we are free to exclaim, "Oh dear, my head is spinning!" when we are in a tizzy, having a funny five minutes, then when we are having an excellent day shouldn't it be perfectly reasonable to exclaim, "Oh yes! My head is perfectly stationary!"
And shouldn't he (or she) who is the recipient of the money that a colleague has "coughed up" be the one who has "inhaled down"?
I could go on, but I need to go and sit in a dark corner and worry about all this ...
