Built like a brick shithouse

Heavily, strongly or solidly built. The term is used usually of people; when referring to men it is generally appreciative, when used of women it is more often disparaging. This is a very popular expression in Australia, but it is used throughout the English-speaking world. In polite company 'outhouse' can be substituted for 'shithouse'.
