Large boy somehow sounds odd. Goodman Joined on Mon, Nov 7 2005 Senior Member 3,816 The name says it all!

	nona the brit  +  258757 Thu, 24 Aug 06 08:40 AM Do you mean tall? I am a tall boy (height). I am a large/well-built boy (fat or muscular). I am a big boy - not advisable as it might make some people giggle. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

Hi Maple I like this interpretation. _________________________ And "sail through" is a useful phrasal verb sail 'through (sth): to pass an exam, a test, etc. without any difficulty. Thanks, IK!
