Asked and answered. Multiple times in fact. One more time: It's a turn of
phrase.

Is it? It's certainly not a common one. Googling the phrase yields nothing, but
that might just be reflecting my lack of googling skills. Perhaps you could
point some uses of that 'turn of phrase' prior to your using it in this thread?

(not going to win the contest) 57 hits. Note that some (but not all) actually do
refer to actual contests though...

Something along those lines is what I had in mind. I'll happily admit I didn't
type exactly either of those phrases and apologise for any confusion engendered,
but honestly, I know what I meant... I meant that your model is weakly executed,
and not very funny, and nothing more than that, and I have no idea what actual
contest it is you're not entering according to Ross.

Now then, do YOU know what this mysterious contest is that Ross says I meant to
refer to but that he won't identify?  Or why?

Or am I going to have to google for that too?
