Anyone remember the send up of him by Kenny Everett singing Do you think I'm sexy when his bum was getting bigger and bigger ....so good and clever
Granny told me that 'nice' was the worst word she knew:all the way from up the Blackness road in Dundee.
Mrs Nichols was my English teacher.. She was rounded in body..Her hair was greying and piled high into a top knot . Few teachers used hair colour.. She was a lady that dressed in tweed.. skirt and jacket.. She would look at us over the top of the glasses that rested on the tip of her nose.. ‘One must try to use descriptive words other than ‘nice’ ..The word is rather dull.’
That's precisely why it's such a valuable adjective. It indicates dull by it's very use. If I ask somebody what they think of a song and they say " Very nice." I know they thought it uninteresting. I shall continue to use it where appropriate. Bloody pedants.
