My Galka character Brickshouse - standing for Brick sh*t house.
UK usage-
A very big person, normally male who is as broad as he is tall yet carries very little fat. Not the sort of person you would willingly upset.
Term comes from the large brick built outside toilets once common in working class areas of the UK. During the war the terraced houses of many England cities got bombed in the blitz, the houses were decimated but the outside toilets at the bottom of the gardens were untouched and were the only surviving pieces of alot of the housings hence the name built like a brick S**t house.

Thankyou and its all true in our well documented history of slang. The war meaning is not well documented as alot of websites do not refer to the history of it as with alot of thigns, people glaze over it only to have the punch line.
I used the auto-name generation in the car. creation stage... I liked it so I used it. Anyone know how to pronounce it?
I'm guessing... Sii-Maul-Lee (Sii as in See; Mau as in Maul; Lee as in Bruce Lee) ...or... Sim-A-Lee (real quick though; Sim as in Sim city... you get the rest.)
Eue - when I picked this name I was thinking of a vaguely Dutch/German/Euro name (Eue as in "heute" and "leute" = OY-eh) I then realized that not many people would know enough about German to pronounce the name correctly, so they think it is Ew (as in EWWWWW !!!)
Sometimes, I wonder if I should have just used Minamaru instead.....
My San D'Oria mule is Sandy - San-dee
