I thought mae west was used instead of "best" as in "i'm not feeling the mae west"

Fey!

Be careful opening your car doors - a gust of wind blew mine out of my hand on New Years Eve and did a lot of damage. I was lucky - my g/f saw one couple lose a door - wind ripped it off one of the hinges!

Looking out the door of the shop at the moment, watching people getting blown down Cross Street....

I'm sitting at work looking over the bay. Its pretty spectacular - there are pretty big waves bashing off the rocks and creating massive clouds of spray. I wonder what it looks like out on more exposed parts of the coast...

im in oranmore . have a big field in front of my house , so the wind gets a good run before it hits my house. my sons trambobaline took flight last week over the fence:eek: :eek: . it wasnt even a small one , the biggest one they had in the shop. wife keeps bustin my balls to collect off the barb wire fence its stuck on. not bloody likely i say, itll only take off again.

Tis awful bad alright, my dad has been on the roof everyday putting the satalite back on because it keeps blowing down and we are deprived of entertainment on a thursday night!

Mae West is slang for a personal flotation device.

During World War II, Navy and Army pilots and crewman in the Pacific, named their inflatable life vests after Mae West supposedly because of her well-endowed attributes. The term "Mae West" for a life-vest continues to this day.

Personal flotation device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A personal flotation device (also named PFD, lifejacket, life preserver, Mae West, life vest, life saver, cork jacket, life belt)

Well, there you are.

JohnCleary

Yarr where would we be without the PFD's... Never leave land without one!

Redhairedguy

You never know who's going to want to feel your well-endowed attributes.
