big enough and ugly enough
Where it comes from
From the notion that youth, especially children, have a more beautiful and endearing appearance, thus maturity ought to make one not only bigger, but uglier too; though, in some cases, the opposite is true (see ugly duckling and its associated fairy tale, which illustrate such a case).
adjective big and ugly enough
- Mature, grown-up, old enough (with the implication that one can look after oneself and make one's own decisions). Her aunt answered, 'You just go off my child. There are two young women here who are big enough and ugly enough to help me with the dishes.'
