    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?

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

    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.

    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.
