It just sounds better, and it fits the glossary entry. Fuzzy "Cat" Potato, Jr. (talk/stalk) 03:19, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Last of the Summer Wine[edit]

What would 'these chaps' make of the women presented in Last of the Summer Wine, who dominate their husbands? (This cultural attitude is based on the historical situation where the men would be down t' pits and the women would have to run everything else.) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 15:13, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

"Yellow fever"[edit]

Um, if yellow fever is "inherently a problematic term", why are we even using it?
