He's soft as mush, short in the reach, slow as molasses, and beef to the heel like a Mullingar heifer.

'Beef to the heels like the Mullingar heifer' is a saying that often irks (làm khó chịu) the neighbours in Meath, who regard the Royal County as the best land in the world for beefing up any animal.

“Nay, don't talk as if we were looking out for fillies, Top! No, I don't know that I have. And you?” “Nothing. The county's out of the question, and the rest of them are beef to the heels like Mullingar heifers."

As mid-century goes mainstream you are seeing more and more hairpin legs on sofas, sideboards, bedside and tables. The design is elegant and works really well in small spaces because it allows the furniture to seemingly float. It is the anthesis of the chunky (chắc mập), “beef-to-the-heel like a Mullingar heifer” wooden block leg.
