I asked this earlier on today and someone said holy terror it was in my local paper the derby telegraph
seen answered as Holy Terror?
//a holy terror. A very troublesome, aggressive, or aggravating person; a person who is exasperatingly difficult in manner or behavior.//
Holy terror sounds like something Batman woukld say and was the name of a book but its not a term thats heard often is it?
My thought was Ring of Terror which was a film.
Niether answer seems good enough tho- maybe we'er missing something
bobbin, see defn @ 18.52
Thanks. Yes, saw that but its still a term that a never heard used
Am thinking dingbats are usually common phrases arent they?
It's common enough in Ireland, bobbin
Fair enough. Been trying for an answer involving saint but cant see one. Someone will hopefully confirm tomorrow
A phrase I grew up hearing, often when referring to unruly children.
//a holy terror
informal someone, especially a child, who causes problems for other people//
I heard it a lot when I was a child.
'Holy terror' is recognised by the OED

as well as by Collins
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/holy-terror

and Merriam-Webster (among many others)
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/holy%20terror

So it seems fine to me as answer here.
i suggested holy terror as it looks like a hole (holy) above terror
Is it not because the halo indicates holiness ??
think its the most plausable.
I think the Spanish Inquisition was a Holy Terror!
