That isn't one I've heard either Noreen so I asked OH. It's new on him
too but he would take it to mean she hasn't much between her
ears, is brainless, empty headed. It certainly doesn't sound polite.

I could as my son when we chat at the weekend if you like.

BTW, this was said by my brand new brother in law, TO my mother, ABOUT me.
I am now looking for a way to tell HIM to go *f* himself in such a way that
he'll look forward to the trip!
LOL!

I'll do that Noreen. Probably tomorrow - we usually have a good long chat
on a Saturday or Sunday.

What an ignorant little toad!
I went looking for sites with suggestions for insults and found
http://home.online.no/~rkaste/jokes/insults.htm and
http://www.the-top-tens.com/lists/best-insults.asp I'm sure you could
find something suitable there for him - and I bet you have a good chuckle
at some of them while you're searching!

Personally I'd just ignore him but Rob says I'm a pastmaster at the art
freezing ar****les at 20 paces. I work on the principle that a look can
say more than a diatribe! ;-)

Sounds to me similar to calling someone an airhead.
