What the heck is a slap nancy? My dictionary didn't know. Can't wait for Dorian Gray.I'll say it once again- Ben Barnes' eyes in this movie are too creepy. That was some great casting. Agh. Dying to see this. Hmm- that's ironic.

Nancy was English slang for 'buttocks' in the 1800s, but by the turn of the century the description changed to "face of an effeminate (Nancy) or gay man". Variations include nancy boy and nance. So the phrase is used when someone looks like a spanked bum, all red and embarassed.

If you're a Colin Firth fan or a Ben Barnes fan then this movie is a must see!
