one of my least favourite words is 'robust'. 'And' and 'the' used to give Derek and Clive the horn. I've always had a soft spot for 'buttocks' but please don't read too much into that.

I'm genuinely wondering what Como was circling around? Did he like round items?

The etymology of most words is fascinating. Venus & aphrodite....Latin & Greek names for the same goddess. An aphrodisiac is something sexy & cool. A venereal disease....not so much. The latter may be reminiscent of a shambles.
