Pretty As A Peach

While some people might never think of using fruit to describe an attractive woman, “pretty as a peach” is one of the most common compliments that a beautiful girl or woman would receive in the South. We can only assume that peaches are highly valued fruit in this part of the world, or it could refer to the rouge that many women put on their faces as makeup, which has similar coloring to peaches. From proms to dates, this is a catch-all phrase for expressing one’s appreciation for beauty.
