Mutton Dressed as Lamb

The term 'mutton dressed as lamb' was first used in the journal of social gossip that Mrs Frances Calvert compiled in 1811, and is possibly attributed to the then Prince of Wales (later George IV). At a musical evening, the Prince was asked whether he did not think some girl pretty. He reputedly answered, “Girl! Girls are not to my taste. I don't like lamb; but mutton dressed like lamb!”

In this case, ‘dressing’ refers to the preparation of food before cooking. The implication in 'dressed as lamb' is that the woman has prepared herself for a romantic encounter. 'Mutton dressed as lamb' was originally a disparaging description of a woman aiming to deceive men into believing she was younger than she really was; back then it was an economic necessity for a woman to marry while still of childbearing age.

Nowadays it refers exclusively to a woman who is deluded and thinks herself attractive in clothes, jewellery and make-up usually worn by those much younger. She’s probably looked in the mirror and thinks herself sex on legs, but she merely proves that eyesight deteriorates with age.
Look at that stupid old slapper dressed exactly like her daughter! What a sad act!”
“Yeah! Mutton dressed as lamb is about as sexy as a kick in the nuts.”

Brooke Morton

A good two shoes white girl that got pregnant from having sex with her first and only boyfriend (She's so unlucky she didn't even get to sleep around like most teens do) she then kept the baby because she's a Christian and doesn't believe in abortion because her family are strongly against pro choice. Brooke Morton's daughter has Down syndrome and since Brooke gave birth she's been posting everything she, her boyfriend and her daughter do with their lives.
Brooke Morton isn't like most teen moms who have it tough because Brooke Morton is Sheltered and hasn't had to work to provide money for her child, she has a boyfriend who works

Murron

A perfect girl. She is one that has values and ultimately a lass you could end up marrying. In everyday use it can become applied to any old sheila on the street, however, at the end of the day the true essence of a Murron is perfection. If someone is using the term overly liberally one must question whether or not they grasp the true concept.

Murron was Wallace's love in the movie Braveheart. The idea developed because of her.

Brooke Morton

Brooke Morton is An American Family Vloger. Brooke is a chubby, blonde that has a double chin. Brooke has nothing better to do all day but record (She doesn't even have a camera crew because she's not even an actual celebrity or an important person) what she and her daughter that has Down syndrome do all day. Brooke's Daughter has a birth defect because her mother wasn't even fully grown when she was born her mother was aged between 10-14 when Aloura was born and the teen moms that do have healthy babies are aged between 15-19. (Brooke didn't mean to get pregnant with Aloura therefore making Aloura a huge mistake that wasn't at all planned mainly because Brooke was under the age of consent when Aloura was born and the fact that Brooke has said countless times to all her viewers that Aloura wasn't planned).

Brooke has the most mumbly voice ever by far, Brooke's voice indicates that she has a speech disorder and just like Aloura Brooke hasn't developed properly...and is slow. Brooke constantly labels her content with the word "comedy" meaning Brooke wants people to laugh at and make fun of both her and her family members.

Brooke has a double chin which she got from her mother who also looks like Miss Piggy and
Brooke thinks she's a good mom (at least that's what her bio reads) because she and her baby Daddy Jason are still together but that's because nobody else on earth wants to hook up with Jason or Brooke besides each other.
Brooke Morton's Daughter Aloura will pass away from embarrassment when she's old enough to see what her mom posts about her.
