Heavy Gus, Cockney slang for the English colloquialism "Heavy August" (Hottest= Heavy August=Heavy Gus),
was a common blue collar greeting surrounding the excruciating heat waves of 1841-1845 London.
From The Morning Chronicle- June 26, 1842;
"It was with a start, walking up to Charing Cross, a train drudger tupped his cap at me and said "'evy gus, too much for a capper?"
To which I quickly followed, "Sir, it is but only the end of June"
"Aye, bun the sun is peas in the pot, and it's barely mid-morning" he replied- of which I learned a few priors to mean "hot", and so I tupped my hat back at the sweating brakeman.
Last found in print in 1889, the term 'Heavy Gus' is rarely used today.

"As the sweltering morning heat cakes down onto the dock workers, along with the 8 am work whistle, you could hear the salty salutations of "heavy gus to you" among the laborers.

Person one: why did the scarecrow get an award
Person two: why
Person one: because he was out standing in his field
Person two: that was such a terrible joke you’re such a Gus Parker

She is very stubborn and usually has short, blonde hair. She is very selfish and doesn't care about anyone else. She loves her own type of music and is not afraid to say that somebody's hard work is disgusting. She is smart and sometimes fun but makes big deals out of little things. Be careful of what you say around her.
