Thing is, when a phrase is a common one you use often, you simply don't realise that other don't use it.
I use the phrase "big enough and ugly enough" all the time.. normally in a "he's big enough and ugly enough to look after himself" type of way.. And simply wouldn't have realised that others didn't know.
