a complete coward.
a consummate fool.
a double-dyed villain.
a perfect idiot.
a stark contrast.
a stark interior.
a stark landscape.
a thorough nuisance.
a thoroughgoing villain.
an arrant fool.
bare rocky hills.
barren lands.
facing the stark reality of the deadline.
gross negligence.
mouth stark open.
pure folly.
stark mad.
stark poverty.
stark staring mad.
the bleak treeless regions of the high Andes.
the blunt truth.
the crude facts.
the desolate surface of the moon.
the unadulterated truth.
utter nonsense.
what a sodding mess.
