More fool you

Postby Ferrus » Sun Feb 04, 2007 1:00 am

More fool you! (British, American & Australian, American)
something that you say in order to show that you think someone has done something stupid. You lent her sixty pounds and expected it back? More fool you! 'He's volunteered to work late.' 'The more fool him, then.'

I'd resist the assertation of USian usage. The one and only time I've ever heard this expression, in a first-person form, was a song title by Genesis, a British band.
Stop! Murder us not, tonsured rumpots! Knife no one, fink!
