In bygone days I used the term "Belle of the ball" to a lady with refulgent eyes and a beatific smile came across her face.

I was never sure if that was a brand of insect repellent or it was used to treat bad backs and muscle strains, I'm shocked to find that it's neither of those. 'Straight up!' meaning 'honest!' - haven't heard that for a while. And when was the last time someone signed off with 'good day', and was this phrase ever used as a greeting, it's always been morning, afternoon or evening, whereas good night means goodbye after 9pm.

a mechanic referring to a problem in the engine of your car.......

"and your rocker-shaft is going up and down like a whore's drawers on a Saturday night"

And the rather charming one from a bygone age;

“Up and down like a bride’s nightie.”

I would guarantee that the main defenders of Gino are women. I was surprised that he wasn't harassing men on set. He acts like he's as far in the closet as George Michael from the Wham days.
