In older times, the word "bully" also had a couple of positive meanings, the only trace of which is left in the expression "bully for you", which is still occasionally used in British English - I can't comment on US English. in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Peter Quince refers to Nick Bottom as, "Good bully Bottom" : : : : The phrase 'Bully for you' (or him) Means 'good for you' (or him) but where does it derive from? In Shakespeare the use of the word 'bully' is not as we know it to-day. In Reply to: BULLY FOR YOU posted by bella on May 08, 2003
