Just learning

[Hoodoo]

I'm a big fan of English mystery novels and movies but I've never quite learned to speak the language so I wonder if you folks could help my yank butt out once in awhile. sargey, for instance, has been messin' with my mind for years. :shock:

For instance what is a "right girl?? Now I have a vague notion of what this means but not a fluid notion.

Hoodoo, if someones a 'right girl' it means they act in a unmanly manner.

Other little sayings on the same theme,

Big girls blouse, big jessy and from my next of the woods Tart or fanny. :-D
