It always annoys me that the press does not acknowledge its ignorance in things like his. HRH Prince Phillip's pet name for the Queen is "cabbage". they make great fun of this. They would now know however that "cabbage" (Mon clou) is simple a french term of endearment, as English uses "honey". In perpetrating his ignorance in the masses they show that entertainment takes precedence over truth.
Which reminds me of the Irishman who was impressed when the American at table said to the lady on his left.. "pass me the honey, honey". Followed by "pass me the sugar, sugar". So the Irishman tried is hand with "pass me the tea, bag."
