where did that come from?

[4getmenot]

Just wrote 'have a soft spot for him' I wonder where that saying comes from and where is this soft spot?

[Panic Button]

I've got a soft spot for the guy I work with -

a peat bog in Mid Wales

In your case 4get, it means a soft spot in your head if you fancy the gangly bambi-like lanky lampost that is Peter Crouch ;o)

[4getmenot]

he is fit as

[ELVIS68]

Thin as

[4getmenot]

Mmmmmm

[4getmenot]

[craft1948]

oooh no 4get......that is just so wrong......

[4getmenot]

he looks lovely in a suit too, when he went into hells kitchen once he was gorgeous

[4getmenot]

but I think its more that he's so tall

[ELVIS68]

I can`t do that 4get, Peter would be gone from your thoughts in an instant x

[Panic Button]

I'm pretty tall aswell.

[4getmenot]

I can imagine elvis x

[ELVIS68]

Btw, you do realise that pic you put up of bambi on the cover of his book has been airbrushed?

[4getmenot]

According to :-

http://www.yourdictionary.com/idioms/soft-spot

This expression, first recorded in 1753 as “a soft place in one's heart,” uses soft in the sense of “tender.”

[4getmenot]

Nowadays it would be a hard spot in his pants

[ELVIS68]

Fair play to him, when asked what he would have been if he wasn`t a footballer he replied ...."A virgin"

[4getmenot]

ha ha ha, see goodlooking and funny too :-)

[rowanwitch]

I think Peter crouch has a great smile, nice eyes, and he's a bit brighter than the average footballer in that he can string a coherent sentence together without 3 y'knows and a couple of urs. couldn't fancy him but thats because he's a bloke but he is not without his appeal.....its the bambi on ice thing....

[4getmenot]

Thank you rowan, my point exactly
