A Big Girl’s Blouse Perhaps because of traditional beliefs that men are tougher than women, it’s common for British people these days to joke about men’s weaknesses. A man who complains he’s ill with a cold might be told he just has "man flu". The implication is a woman keeps working when she has a cold, while a man exaggerates its effects, in order to get some sympathy and get out of doing any work. According to the British saying, such a man is being "a big girl’s blouse", a jokey way of saying he’s not as manly and brave as he could be. The American milquetoast isn’t an exact equivalent, as it has a greater emphasis on meekness rather than an unmanly nature. Big girl’s blouse has working-class links, being more common in downmarket British tabloid newspapers such as The Sun and The Mirror. It has been suggested that Hylda Baker invented the phrase in her stage act. If she didn’t, where big girl’s blouse came from is likely to remain a mystery.
