Laura Leu and I were discussing someone whom we’ve both had frustrating experiences with:

Me: She’s a real piece of work. She’s not a tall drink of water OR a sight for sore eyes.
Laura Leu: She’s not the bee’s knees. Hell, she’s not even the bees ankles.
Me: She’s the bee’s anus.
Laura Leu: You’re giving her too much credit, I’d say she’s more like the bee’s tarsal claw.
