Tall, skinny and pale with a really damp, limp handshake.

A guy who drove a really nice car and now lives in Kenya.

I think of chronicles of Narnia. Is there a character called crispin in them? It's a bit of a fable/ fantasy type name to me. I like it x

Oh shit no, that was Tarquin! Ignore me, as you were!

Bablohoney, was about to say the same thing Smile

RusholmeRuffian · 22/08/2018 21:23

Horrible name. Sorry

I think of Crispin Mills the lead singer of 90's band Kula shaker who I really fancied back in the day until it emerged that he was a huge racist. Sorry op, that probably wasn't what you wanted-but that said there are probably few people who remember him now.

And we used to call him crisp n dry

pieceofpurplesky · 22/08/2018 21:21

Went to school with one. He was very nice and very posh (came to our 'secondary modern' from public school when parents separated).

Condragulations · 22/08/2018 21:21

Immediately Crisp n Dry

Then upon further consideration ... a small crisp too.

Makes me think of a shrivelled old man.

I think of a kids book about a pig called Crispin who was very greedy. 😂

IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere · 22/08/2018 21:18

I was in school with a Crispin in the 60's. The family were quite bohemian so that's the image it sums up for me.

Ohyesiam · 22/08/2018 21:17

Posh and creepy/ ineffectual.
