Yeah, I know "outhouse" is a legitimate word. Perhaps "correct" was too strong a term, but in the context of that particular phrase, in approximately 40 years of my hearing/using it, the polite form has always been used with a touch of the "I'm toning this down" inflexion. Possibly it was originally "outhouse" and got changed by folk of a more robust vocabulary.
I stand by only ever having heard the phrase used in reference to a well-muscled personage, though.

Very wise you may be, Yoda, but universal your experience is not. The meaning of built like a brick drithouse as synonym for well-muscled, despite its more sense making, have I never heard. For a well proportioned female only have I heard it.
Valued your input is, though.
This is the last time I'll talk like this, honest, guys.

You have to remember that I've been stuck in a shack on Dagobah for the last twenty years. BTW, I don't do the fractured grammar, or the Fozzie Bear voice. I was given this nickname by members of another forum, and I decided to use it whenever I could.
