Re: Two questions.
1. Yeah, there's a missing "not".
2. No. It's crap. "Fur coat and no knickers" is a derogatory term used to describe someone (specifically a woman, but use has broadened) who has spent time and money on superficial things but has skimped on the essentials.

Sigh....

Woosh! Recognise the sound? (Shall I dissect the frog for you?)

You might think something's gone over my head.
I assure you, it hasn't.
But if it makes you feel good, dissect away.

I assure you, it has.
As YOU started dissecting the expression that I fully well understood -- but "assumed", in jest, you meant to be a GOOD thing, not bad.

No.
You are the irrelevance sophist king, and I bend my knee to your wordy might.
Alternatively, I don't care enough. You know and I know what I meant in my first post, and this sub thread is verbal masturbation.
Which means you're going it alone.
Enjoy.

Then don't open your gob in the first place.
What you really meant: You now realise *you* were wrong, but you're too fucking puny a human being to ever admit anything like that. Nice to know... Puts a whole 'nother light on your "translations" of Boxlish, knowing that the need for such applies to you too.
Here, for dimwits like PeeWee, is the explanation -- not of what you meant in your first post, because I wasn't fucking talking about that! -- but the point of the joke in my reply: "That costume is not only a sign of interesting sartorial priorities, but above all, you see, it fairly screams 'TART!'... And how can THAT be anything BUT a good thing? :-)"
(Note that the smiley is inside the quotes -- it still applied, back then, when the post that the explanation in the quotes applies to was written. At this point, though, you can POAD for all I care.)

What?
Wrong? This is a thread about Vista, you egotistical twat, and you made some utterly stupidly obscure comment about something being better than I said it was because you interpreted something wrongly, and then the old CRC wordwanking started, and I lost interest, because the only person who enjoys watching you crack a verbal one out is you.
I suggest you go back, look at what this thread is actually ABOUT, and make some kind of vague attempt to stay on topic. That is, if you actually have anything to contribute other than the usual self-aggrandising etymological onanism.
Or you could just shut the fuck up, Mr "I Don't Speak Idiomatic English Nearly As Well As I Think I Do".
