Body parts

The other day in German class we were to write an essay involving body parts. It's amazing how many expressions involve the body. I wrote something about how the man had black EYES, black HAIR and a slim BODY. Of course I managed to get my favourite German expression in there "sein Argument steht auf wackligen FüSSEN" - his argument has no bearing (difficult to translate). Often he sticks his HEAD into the sand like an ostrich. When I speak to him it goes in one EAR and out the other. He has no SPINE. He often use his HANDS when speaking. He makes me so angry that my HEAD steams (German expression). Good thing I'm thick-SKINNED and (a very German expression) I have HAIR on my TEETH. This means I'm tuff, and that nobody can take me. I like that very much. Amazing how you can get every topic into something against men...one might even think I hate'm but I don't! Really! I'm just saying: "can't live with them, can't shoot them"!
