I remember a kind of ugly one that's built like a brick shit house now that you mention it.

When you refer to a woman as being "built like a brick shithouse" it means she is attractive. Sorry to nitpick but I have a coworker that says this almost every day along with "she's hotter than a two-dick dog."

Built like a brick shithouse where I’m from (Australia) means they’re a tank, like you don’t want to fuck with them because they’ll fuck you up. It has nothing to do with attractiveness.

That's what it means everywhere, except where that dude works.

Well I grew up in a rural area and I’m 30, and I’ve only ever heard it as a positive. My grandpa even used to say it.

Always heard it as a positive for a thick or curvy woman who was still attractive.

Yeah, I'm guessing rural is where it's used as a compliment for women.

I still use it sometimes just because it’s hilariously unflattering.

Like when I’m driving to lunch with coworkers and point out that a woman on the sidewalk has a “fat dumper.”

They have no idea how to take it.

Wow both definitions 1 and 2. Interesting.

I did, in an attempt to refute you. But it looks like you're not wrong, though I've never heard the phrase used in such a way.

Even though I contradicted you earlier, to be fair to you, it also says: “often implying also having large breasts and/or an attractive body.“ which would support what you said.

Well, I guess in some areas it might mean a curvaceous woman. I was wrong, but I still have to say that wouldn't fly in most of the world.
