Destitute Liver
There was a time in the English language when "liver" was used to describe the temper and integrity of a person . Most of us have heard the saying "lilly livered" which basically means cowardly. Back in the day , say six or so centuries ago people thought that the force of ones liver fortified them with a degree of boldness and integrity. I've have been looking for a way to describe some people who frustrate me. And thanks to Carsten's blog challenge I think that I've found it. "Destitute Livered Skallywags" is my new term. I really don't know what the heck a skallywag is but I like sounding like a pirate. But I would never wear the eye patch (this is another phobia of mine and I'm sure Mrs. Priest will blogging about it in the near future). Anyway, the definition of Destitute Livered Skallywag is - a person lacking integrity and honesty. Destitute means lacking or impoverished so I think it works .
