natjack Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Anyone heard the saying 'Saf braissant' or 'Sof braissant' ? This was used by an old lady when I was working on a geriatric ward at NGH over 40 years ago. I think she meant 'Do you think I'm soft in the head?' Have asked many people and only one person said that they'd heard something similar Don't be soft brazened with me, my grandfather used to say it meaning don't give me any lip, don't be cheeky, don't go rolling your eyes at me, or 'slowtiming' me. That sort of thing. No idea why soft though? bra·zen (brzn) adj. 1. Marked by flagrant and insolent audacity. Shameless. tr.v. bra·zened, bra·zen·ing, bra·zens To face or undergo with bold self-assurance: brazened out the crisis.
