If she says 'it wasn't expensive' chances are the opposite is trueIt wasn't expensive
The literal interpretation of this porky is, of course, 'it was very expensive indeed'. Women use it because they like to shop and, however much they bang on about the joys of Poundstretcher and Primark, they really like to shop in Harvey Nicks.

That was the best sex ever!"
