They all have goods things about them

Postby Rusden » Wed Jun 23, 2021 12:49 pm

Dear All, I've come across an expression "They all have goods things about them", which the lady (mother) has used to describe her sons in general. Could please give me some more interesting and natural expressions like that. Thank you.

'They're all as bad as one another....'

Just as a counterpoint. ;)
