I'd bet the term "Full Monty" was completely unknown here in the US until the movie arrived.

In all honesty, I don't think many people in UK were aware of it until then, either. It was certainly new to me.

My neighbour always spoke with glee about getting the full monty on Saturday mornings. I think he was referring to bacon, eggs, sausages and all the extras but you never can be sure.

Jo,

Don't get your Knickers in a Twist, Ladybird! I've been busy with my Building Society and consulting with the Agony Aunt (who Works Like a Trojan). I Cannot decide for Toffee who should win this Slanging Match, so excuse me for slinging a Spanner in the Works. As far as I'm concerned, it's Sail Close to the Wind and Plain Sailing to everyone concerned. So keep at it Hammer and Tongs, Keep Your Pecker Up and I'm sure that someone Cheap and Cheerful will Splash Out.

Bob's Your Uncle!
-(take the) Mikey

p.s. - that was never a fortnight....

...but, around here at least, the study of paedomorphism might stand you in better stead.
