Insults

[seafoid]

A face like a plasterer's radio
Wouldn't  hit Clery's window with a brick
Could stop a police horse at 50 foot
A face that would turn milk sour
Knickers up and down like the Assyrian Empire
Sweatier than Mae West's gusset

etc

You wouldn't ride her in to battle
Youd see bigger men on a wedding cake
Ye have a face on you like a melted welly boot
