It seems the new US Ambassador to the Court of St James will be 'Woody Johnson'

Now I could be wrong, but aren't both those names American slang terms for the membrum virile? :rubchin:

What odd fellows our American cousins are, to be sure.

Revenge for us sending them a chap called "Kim", I suppose :-|

Yes. You'd have thought we'd be a bit wary of chaps called Kim being given senior diplomatic roles in Washington after that very unfortunate Philby business, really.

Even so, to have one name that is slang for the penïs is unfortunate. To have two begins to look like carelessness.

On the other hand his parents may have thought the whole thing a total hoot in one of those phnaar phnaar type moments.
Lest we forget our own tragically named Paul Dickov. How that poor lad must have suffered on his journey to adulthood and beyond.

I'm generally quite sympathetic to those with vaguely genital surnames, tbh. :-\

Yes. Imagine being called 'Randy' and having a funny surname.

Fortunately, such a thing would never happen in a sane universe.

There was a discussion on the radio just the other day about some US political brouhaha or another.

Chap called "Newt" so I googled him.

Newt Gingrich.

For real.

He ran for president once - vote for Newt indeed. Sadly the US is not a nation of Fink-Nottles (or Ken Livingstones) and thus he had no chance
