I've never heard ["much of a muchness"] before. Is that a common
British colloquialism?
I've heard that one, but it's been years. I've only ever heard it from
a Brit or in a book authored by a Brit. I don't know how common it is,
though. The web site www.phrases.org.uk claims that it's never
really been
common (http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/251550.html).
I would say it's really quite a common phrase.
Pretty common downunder as well, although possibly less so now than with my
parent's generation.
The deuce you say!
Too right, cobber!
