MJ's little flock

We’ll have to make you an honorary Aussie as well, with your understating. :D Eg a drop-dead gorgeous person might be described by an Aussie as a “bit of alright”. :lol:
There are lots of those.
One I hadn't heard for a while is, none too shabby. There is also the standard, not too bad; never good mind you.:D

I am a big user of ‘not too bad’ or just ‘not bad’. I use ‘not too shabby’ as well.
But one has to be careful on line as people get easily offended. Maybe not in these threads though.

Yup, one has to be a bit mindfull. So many words have different meanings from nationality to nationality.
I was a bit shocked when I read, "ooh, they are so precious."
Here precious is not a nice thing to call someone. It is usually reserved for bratty little teenagers and pre teens who are in need of a bit of straight talking.:lol:
I think it's rather like Snowflake in the US before the term became politicized.
