rough diamond.....a person of fine character who lacks refinement

Well explained sgeandhu - you're a Diamond (Geezer) !

[Quizmonster]

The word 'diamond' on its own has meant a very special person for the past 600 years, having first been applied to Christ. Modern statements such as "You're an absolute diamond"..."He's a diamond geezer" and so on illustrate the fact.
