What's a 'headless no-brainer'? #1 (permalink) Wed Apr 02, 2008 20:50 pm   What's a 'headless no-brainer'?
 

You probably use the term 'no-brainer' from time to time. Earlier today Alan mentioned to me the expression 'a headless no-brainer'. Now I wonder if there is any idiom that tops a headless no-brainer.

How charming. :?
Feel like sharing with us what it was that Alan classified as a headless no-brainer? ;)

By the way, did Alan indicate to you that 'a headless no-brainer' is a fixed expression?

Yet I thought, the middle agesī expression "slubberdegullian druggel" were the most rude insult I ever knew in English. :shock:
