Helen and Tommy — glad to get your week off to a light-hearted start.

Dan! A belated welcome here. I like the fact that these vulgar words sometimes have much longer and more impressive lineages than some of the more toffy-nosed vocabulary. Helps to be married to a Chaucer scholar.

Regardless, thanks for the photo, which I stole from you.

I’m just another solipsistic American, Harry. Thanks for setting me straight.

“c.1230 Oxford or London street name Gropecuntlane,”

This just made my day. I’m going to be laughing all day over the fact that someone thought this would be a good street name.

Also? I like the euphemism “The monosyllable.” Perhaps everybody will be using it in the future: “He’s such a monosyllable, mate.”
