(Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
--- In the romantic comedy film Roxanne, Steve Martin plays a modern-day Cyrano de Bergerac with an incredibly long nose. Satisfied to live without a nose job, he is thus condemned to a life of stares and offensive jokes. In a wonderfully funny scene, a pub patron makes a disparaging comment about Martin's nose. Martin asks, "Is that the best you can do? I'll bet you a hundred dollars that I can come up with 20 better insults." A sample of some of the insults follow:
- When you stop to smell the flowers, are they afraid?
- It must be wonderful to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee ... in Brazil.
- Excuse me, your nose was on time but you were fifteen minutes late.
- Is that your nose or did a bus park on your face?
