Gammerstang commented on the word quite the cheese
(adjective) - Quite the cheese means quite the correct thing, especially in the matter of costume or manner . . . This phrase is an adaptation from the word choose, and admits the interpretation, "what I should choose." By a sort of double refinement of this expression we hear things referred to as "that's prime Stilton" or "that's Double Gloucester."
