'Mouth watering' was used descriptively in an article
I was reading today. I found myself trying to think of
other adjectives that begin with a part of the body:
'Mind-numbing'
'Heart-wrenching'
Others?

I'm sure that all ASP really wants to say, but is too kindly to mention, is that "cock of the walk" isn't an adjective ...

In all seriousness (or at least as much as can be mustered), "balls to the wall" is a legitimate addition to this thread.
Also, head strong and head-long.

It seemed a little maladroit to me. Certainly, in connection with this thread, something is queer, da?

Only Polly Anna would have missed the double entendre, though -- I think it belongs.

That person and I, I think, would respectfully differ.
"Polly Anna," btw, was meant to refer to a species of pilot that surely never existed, and to nothing and no one else.
