Thug

The other day at a work dinner my boss was surprised that I didn't play rugby. This isn't because I talk about it a lot. But he thought I was ideal for the scrum. He qualified this by saying it was because of my aggression. I was really quite shocked. I never thought anyone would think me aggressive. He did qualify it further when I expressed my surprise that he seemed to think I was a thug by saying it was a combination of aggression and finesse, but I don't think that reduces my surprise. However, having thought about it in more depth, I am beginning to wonder if he meant that my face looked as though I play rugby!
