Brick Shithouse

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.

I ain't gonna mess with him, he's a bleedin' brick shithouse.
