No nonsense and didn't put up with any B.S. She didn't play the games the boys did and liked to get things done. Truth hurts. What a gal. Remember the Falklands? She sure didn't beat around the bush and kiss anyones butt. Went right in there. Need more politicians like her.

answer: "The Fossil." that's what his fellow teammates and NFL gamers and coaches affectionately referred to as him previous due in his profession. Brett Farve is "The Iron guy" with the aid of fact he performed 17 seasons at QB, sixteen with the aid of fact the starter, on an identical time as lacking purely 2 video games that first season as a starter with green Bay. He grow to be the beginning QB for green Bay from the 4th game of the 1992 season till his retirement in 2008 after the playoffs. it fairly is over 15 seasons as a starter without ever lacking a start up, a span of 253 commonly used season video games or 275 video games alongside with playoff video games, subsequently the "Iron guy" status. Its a checklist. George Blanda, fairly a spectacular guy, had an incredibly diverse profession. He did no longer catch on as a beginning QB till his 5th season, and then fell out of fashion with coach Halas after a season and a nil.5, and grow to be relegated to kicking purely. no longer till he went to Houston some 5-a million/2 seasons later did he catch back on as a beginning QB, and this time lasted 5-a million/2 years and had his maximum spectacular video games and seasons at QB. After that era, he grow to be in particular a kicker, beginning purely one extra commonly used season game after 39 years old-additionally his seventeenth season. the single exception of direction is the 1970 season the place he got here in alleviation and gained 5 video games, then began the call game interior the playoffs whilst he grow to be 40 3 years old. Being the sport's oldest participant ever, the oldest QB to ever start up in a playoff game, and the participant who performed the main seasons, Blanda's declare to popularity and fulfillment grow to be moreso toughness than "iron guy" status.

Iron Lady is a nickname that has frequently been used to describe female heads of government around the world. The term describes a "strong willed" woman. This iron metaphor was most famously applied to Margaret Thatcher, nicknamed so in 1976 by the Soviet media for her staunch opposition to communism.

because she ruled with an "iron fist". Hahaha. Joke.
Most probably because she lead with her strong personality, integrity and principles, and she wasn't moved by pressure.
