Being a teenager.....
...long ago, I and all my mates used to perform pseudo-spoonerisms to a sentence to 'add inflection' and make it much more interesting than it was. An example of this would be 'Barbehoop queue of *much* bula-heef-ness'. Obviously, this translates to 'barbeque beef Hulahoops'. And before some spartypants informs me, I know it's not actually correct, it's just one of many things we said, as schoolpersons of limited wit. The formula for this hilarious twist of the great English language was 'something something of *much* something-ness'. No matter what, we could not stop ourselves saying it and it became part of out vocabulary.

Anyhoo, one particular evening while at a mates' place his parents (dad's a God-bothering minister, mum's a vicar's wife, picture it...) decided we all needed to play a board game. So out comes Cluedo.

If you can, imagine the silence that followed the announcement of 'Mrs Cock of *much* Pea-ness'.

No apology for length. Being a woman it was mostly on the inside, I'd guess.
