all tits and teeth

It is a slang, graphic yet concise expression. It is derogatory British slang for a woman who gets on by using her physical attributes rather than her brain. An attractive but stupid woman. It also describes a sexually active woman who is not very intelligent. It is a highly sexist expression but there are similar expressions used of men, e.g. He is 'all brawn and no brain' &, cruder, 'he sees every woman through the hole in his prick' of an unintelligent man, who perceives all women as sexual objects.
Are there Greek equivalents of these expressions?:blush:

You must be joking... Greek sexist expressions about anything? :p

Let's start with: από φωνή, κορμάρα (A linguistically recent entry, for lady "singers", is now used more widely...)
 
Για άντρες λέμε ότι "σκέφτεται με το κάτω κεφάλι".
Για γυναίκες λέμε ότι "έχει δύο πλεονεκτήματα" (=τα βυζιά, με το συμπάθιο).

Υπάρχουν και οι γνωστές περιγραφές, αρκετά πιο περιφραστικές, όχι ακριβώς αντίστοιχες αυτού που ρωτάς, Θησέα, αλλά σχετικές.
Ιδανική γυναίκα: "Να έχει μάτια μισάνοιχτα, πόδια ορθάνοιχτα και μυαλό μεσάνυχτα."
Ιδανικός άντρας: "Να έχει κινητό, ακίνητο, αυτοκίνητο και πουλί ευκίνητο."
 
Thanks so much to both! What does ' στο ρετιρέ δε βλέπω φως (το ρετιρέ ξενοίκιαστο / ακατοίκητο)' mean. Every time I tap on it, my iPad comes up with an English dictionary reference, which has nothing to do with this idiom! Does it mean:-There's nobody home in the sense that there are no brains in someone's head?

If you tap on the first one (στο ρετιρέ δε βλέπω φως), you'll get to the Free Dictionary page for the phrase "There's nobody home" which is an English equivalent (No light in the penthouse > The penthouse is vacant i.e. There are no brains in someone's head), while the link in the second one (το ρετιρέ ξενοίκιαστο / ακατοίκητο) leads to the page for this idiom in slang.gr, which Marinos repeats here:


Linkelaborating, Theseus. :-)
