I love that kind of euphemistic understatement. I occasionally describe people as "not conventionally pretty/handsome".

A little while ago I read 'The Last Great Fight', about Tyson v Douglas. Describing one of Tyson's team back then, it offers up "Rather, he was something of an outcast, dangerously overweight at more than 385 pounds, with a fifty-six-inch waist and a fondness for spending time in the kitchen."

 

Perhaps the most neatly understated description of a greedy bastard I've ever known.

Wasn't that Churchill?

Certainly was. Another classic of his was asking a woman if she'd sleep with someone for x large amount of funds and she said she would. He then asked if she'd sleep with someone for x small amount of funds and she asked him what kind of woman he thought she was.

 

He told her what kind of woman she was had already been established, they were now just haggling over the price.

 

I think it was also him who when someone said "if you were my husband I'd poison your tea", replied "Madam, if you were my wife I'd drink it."

I put on a few pounds and my arrogant, ugly, bald and self-absorbed boss called me "fatty" in front of my colleagues. To which I responded, "6 weeks and I can get rid of that, your hair's never coming back though you bald twat".
