I’m too good for my britches

A wonderful Thanksgiving dinner was prepared – turkey with stuffing, candied yams with marshmallows, green beans in French fried onion topping, mashed potatores, gravy, pies, etc. Despite her usual humility, the cook exclaimed, “I’m too good for my britches!” This is a mashup of “too big for my britches” (conceited, self-important) and maybe “too good for this world” (exceptionally selfless, kind). Perhaps “as good as it gets” (impossible to improve upon) given the context, or even “too good to be true” (to be so exciting as to be unbelievable). A big thanks(giving) to Patti Tomai Palladino for uttering this beauty and Skip Kennedy for sending it in!
