English term

you don't half fancy yourself

Non-PRO English Art/Literary
Nick:
I thought we might go somewhere a little quieter.
Eve:
You mean having shagged your way through half the women on the course [there are only two of them], you thought you'd have a crack at the other half?
Nick:
That's not what I meant. And if you'd have been there that night, it might been a different story.
Eve:
You think so, do you? You don't half fancy yourself. Anyway, Cathy says you're not up to much.

you really think a lot of yourself

You rate yourself really highly

You think you're God's gift to women

(If she had been there on that night, she might have got lucky instead of Cathy...he might have 'done her the favour'..of going with her instead - it didn't cross his mind that she might have turned him down, because he 'really fancies himself')

agree Anne Lee : God's gift to women is better than 'you think a lot of yourself', because the latter is a benign form of self-confidence.
