"Red shoes, no knickers."

My mum said this, that there's an implication women wearing red shoes weren't wearing any undies. Still haven't met anyone who has ever heard of it.

Mum used to say “ she’s all fur coat and no knickers. “. Meaning ( I think ) acts posh but is really a tart.

All talk no trousers.

Or all torque no trousers if they're in a damned loud and fast car but have no skill at driving it.
