Yes, but were there whortleberries?

If I only had a brain...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister has coltish legs.
Huge boobs though, so she's not that sort either.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
There is a preternaturally high boobage I associate only with teenhood (though not all teens, by a long shot), that doesn't seem to make it to the early 20s.
I envy the experiences that went into forming this opinion.
In this interview with John Rhys-Davies, he says
But I can do other things: I can weld, I can turn, I can build. I rebuilt the engine for my Rolls-Royce and there weren't TOO many bits left over.
What does he mean by "I can turn"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Turn like wood on a lathe (think shaping table legs, for instance).

You know, this increases his sex appeal by like, a hell of a lot.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Never had the preternaturally perky boobs, nor coltish legs. I just kept the toddler shape until 11, then the weight shifted up or down. I completely lacked the TV adolescence.

Hon, you STILL have the coltish legs.

Nope, those came from four years of figure skating.
Sort of on topic: It was widely noticed when they had Giles pronounce the word scone as rhyming with bone, instead of what would have been the correct British way. Have ME made any other such blatant mistakes with unAmerican characters?

Um, where to begin? Pronouncing "arse" as "ass" is probably the most common. Also, English people never (in my experience), use the term "a tad..." only Americans who want to sound posh do that.
And of course proper scones shouldn't have blueberries in them.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I can't think of any other instances at the moment, but I did notice scone when I heard it. I am not so sure it was a mistake as much as a decision to pronounce it that way so that American audiences could understand it because ASH would not have pronounced scone that way naturally.
