The Idiomatic Phrase You Thought You'd Thought Of But We Got There First

A large-footed hairy beast from the Himalayas, the abominable literalist is the sort of monster who goes to a tabletop sale and asks, "How much are these tabletops then?" or goes to a car boot sale looking for bargain car boots. Or when someone shouts, "Duck!" he looks up and bangs his head on the doorframe. He's nice enough chap but a bit annoying really.
