I didn't get the cattle one because my mum used to say 'All hat, no knickers!' but I'm guessing that probably has a different meaning

If it wasn't for rats there would be loads of abandoned ships floating around, it's a good thing they sink them for us.

I only missed "vain as a peacock" and "all hat and no cattle," but after Googling the latter, I'm gonna have to mix it into my repertoire. I like it.

Never heard it as "vain" as a peacock - I've only ever heard "proud". Used to be NBC's slogan.

Well, the French version translates to "Proud as a peacock". I guess French people view beauty as a good thing, whereas English people see it as superficiality.

Some of us in the UK think that you should accept "The world is my Lobster"... ;) :)

To quote a certain Arthur Daley from the TV series 'Minder'...

Re 'all hat, no cattle' I think it's supposed to be 'big hat, no cattle'. Randy Newman even wrote a song about it, lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdgcyT_nsBA

"All hat and no cattle" is such a great figure of speech. I'd never heard it before, but it just sounds so quintessentially cowboy, like something the narrator from The Big Lebowsky would say.

I've always heard it as "all hat, no cowboy". But it wasn't a far leap to cattle.
