Vin Cotto Ink

Notice that there will be no prizes for invective, politics, and tedium.

Hm, is that one category or three?

[smudgy]

Wow. Maybe I could FINALLY get my husband interested in FPs if I told him he could write in wine? Nah, he'd just end up using the pen as a flask and sucking the ink through the nib in a movie theater...

 

I ask with some trepidation: what the heck does SWMBO mean??

She Who Must Be Obeyed. (First seen in the Rumpole novels, or is it earlier?)

(A term of respectful endearment for one's wife, in other words.)

[smudgy]

Ah. Thanks.

She Who Must Be Obeyed.  (First seen in the Rumpole novels, or is it earlier?)

It's earlier -- 1886, to be exact.

 

"She-who-must-be-obeyed, Ayesha, the Queen of Death, the White Goddess of the lost city of Kôr who rules her kingdom with terror, She is the very image of the Femme Fatale. To disobey her or to scorn her is to earn & receive instantaneous death. For a man, to look upon her face is to fall hopelessly & vainly into madness; for a woman, it is to dissolve into futile, jealous obsession. Sir Henry Rider Haggard's creation, the character She, more than fits the image of the Femme Fatale." -- from "She": The Veiled Reflection of the Femme Fatale's Fire by Allan R. Cook

 

Woo-hoo! Hot!
