A tall thin person is called, behind their backs "like a yard of pump water" (as in water gushing from pump). I have also found "like a streak of tap water dressed up" in the book by Nigel Rees, 'All gong and no dinner; 1001 homely phrases and curious domestic sayings'.dave hambidgehttp://hambocentral.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-15740792800831042292013-02-10T08:28:50.715-06:002013-02-10T08:28:50.715-06:00how did I miss that all these years?
