Awesome, great, amazing. The highest compliment. "Phyllis" Diller = Killer! Use "mad" in place of very.

She is not that jealous, well, it depends. On the type of girl/woman. Now that i think of it, naw, she is not jealous. She used to be very, very, extremely jealous but had a mysterious afflatus in her dream one night that suggested that in ideal conditions with an ideal partner there would not be any reason to be. She might be naive though. Sex is easy, sex is cheap. Flirt is easy, flirt is cheap. If you don't take care of your partner's needs they might be inclined to accept an offer. And thats that. Would that be the end of a relationship for her? Ask her, how do i know.
Phyllis went out with Ron. When she came back from the bathroom there was a tall, black-haired, pale-skinned, voluptious woman standing next to him, her breast almost touching his arm. They were smiling, laughing, gesticulating, grimacing as if they had known each other for a long time. Plus their voices were really low which annoyed her the most. High-pitched voices reminded her of theatre thus fake, not real, acted. But Ron and the woman were so calm, too calm, Phyllis couldnt bear the sight. She didnt know what to do. She tapped Ron, looked him in the eyes and was shocked to see them all dreamy and high and..happy! Then she looked at the woman. She was smiling, really friendly, she didnt reject Phyllis' eye contact and held out her hand. At that moment Phyllis turned away with tears in her eyes realising both Ron and Phyllis had fallen in love with that woman.

A Phyllis is an ugly woman who is in kahoots with the devil. There is nothing good about a Phyllis or anyone that associates with one. A Phyllis spends her days doing mediocre art, eating Tuna Salad sandwiches, and plotting ways to destroy others with her Henchie minions. A Phyllis usually has a thick neck, chicklet teeth, and flabby skin.

Phyllis Linda Hyman (July 6, 1949 — June 30, 1995) was an American soul singer and Tony-nominated actress. Phyllis Hyman began her career as a silky voiced, jazz-influenced singer and gradually moved into slick, heavily produced urban contemporary ballads and light dance numbers. Hyman won a scholarship to music school and then began her professional career with the group New Direction in 1971. When they disbanded after a national tour, Hyman joined the Miami ensemble All the People. She also worked there with another local group, the Hondo Beat, and appeared in the film Lenny. That was followed by a two-year stint heading Phyllis Hyman & the P/H Factor, before relocating to New York. Hyman did background vocals on Jon Lucien's Premonition LP and built her reputation performing in New York clubs. Norman Connors made her his featured vocalist in the mid-'70s, and she was highlighted on a cover of the Stylistics' "Betcha By Golly Wow," which appeared on Connors' You Are My Starship LP. Hyman also sang with Pharaoh Sanders & the Fatback Band while cutting two singles as a lead artist. Buddah released Phyllis Hyman in 1977, but she really began making an impression when she was signed by Arista the next year. The songs "Somewhere in My Lifetime" and "You Know How to Love Me" both made the R&B Top 20. Hyman got her lone Top Ten hit in 1981 with "Can't We Fall in Love Again," but her albums did consistently well through the '80s. The production teams of Mtume/Reggie Lucas and Narada Michael Walden/Thom Bell gave her material that showcased her skill with sophisticated ballads. Hyman had more success when she left Arista for Philadelphia International in 1986, with the single "Living All Alone" putting her back in the R&B Top 20. She also sang on fusion and light jazz dates by Joe Sample, Ronnie Foster, and Grover Washington, Jr., a more conventional jazz session for McCoy Tyner, and a pop date with the Four Tops. Tragically, Hyman took her own life on June 30, 1995; Her final studio album I Refuse To Be Lonely was released three months after her death. Forever With You was issued posthumously in 1998.
Phyllis Hyman is one of the greatest singers of all time, but she was troubled by drugs and alcohol.
The short, pre-vocal interlude in the song "Loving You, Losing You" was sampled into a short musical theme for fights between two characters of Adult Swim's animated series The Boondocks in the episode "...Or Die Trying".
Socially conscious rap group, A Tribe Called Quest, spoke of Phyllis Hyman in their song, "Baby Phife's Return", by saying, 'Let me take this time to say R.I.P. to Phyllis Hyman/Who never got the props that she damn well deserved...'
The 1996 film Set It Off features "The Answer Is You" during a dinner scene with Blair Underwood and Jada Pinkett Smith.
The TV show Swingtown used part of the song "Kiss You All Over" in an episode.
The R&B group "ATL"'s song "Calling All Girls" has a rap section that contains the lyrics "...But still a diamond/Voice like Phyllis Hyman...".
Rapper Juelz Santana rhymes "I'm still grindin' still pitchin' that 'Phyllis Hyman' on the song "You Oughta Know"
