Wow, can you believe that Hugh Grant and Jemima Khan have broken up? I guess I can…their three year relationship in which Hugh was domesticated by Jemima and primped to be a doting husband ended amicably– even despite the fact that Hugh has a roving eye and was a total douche. Hell, if I was Jemima, I would have put blinders on that horse face.
When Barbara Walters noted that he’d been “domesticated” by Khan, whom she described as “pretty attractive and pretty intelligent,” Grant said, “I agree with you, I think she’s a cracker. She doesn’t need my help anyway.”
According to Treebeard’s Concise Dictionary of British Slang, it means, “splendid and wonderful.”
I’m glad that Jemima finally dumped this loser. She seems like a really nice lady (see, you don’t have to call people, cracker, Hugh). I mean, she’s a UN Ambassador for Unicef and donates to a cancer hospital– she even started her own brand of ketchup! What do you do, Hugh? Spread diseases.

This is where translations can go bad. Thanks for posting up the meaning in British.
She seems like a beautiful woman and I’m sure she’ll do a lot better than Hugh — who by the way, looks “banged up”. He was recently on the Today Show where Meredith was fawning over him, the man looked “haggard” — Meredith must be vying for an Oscar or something, because Hugh was not looking good., Ugh!!I had to switch the channel..he was pretty fug in the the morning.
good for her, she can do way better!
lol, spread diseases. ha ha! He’s such a loser.
But honestly, Jemima’s no angel either.
I’ve seem HG in a london club – he is slow like the character he play s in film.
im rooting for jemima.
i like her
i think that hugh is in the closet. he plays the same character no matter what movie it is. he is cute at times, but also boring. and if he cheated on her, its good that he is outta there,
I can’t stand Jemima Khan or Hugh Grant. Boring, pointless people. And she definitely has “butterface”.
I’m a Yank living in the UK and can tell you that, slang-wise, cracker is a very big compliment here. He was clearly trying to be nice in the comment. Doesn’t mean he’s not a tosser in general however.
He must be emotionally retarded. Men who refuse to grow up are just a big turn off. Good (albeit well overdue) move Jemima.
i know this is dumb…
but when i see thatname, all i can think of is William Shatner yelling
KKKHHHHHAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!
