Would you have made the same assumption if the speaker had been a man? "How did you enjoy the Dom Perignon, Ms. Bush?" "It's Nice to swallow." Also, on the same stoopid subject: Are there no musicians on this thread? Come on people, *all* musicians have pet-names for their music, and they are often comic and sometimes genuinely crude. But it beats calling everything by it's *formal* name all the time. Is Kate different? Can't *she* have silly names for her "serious work"? An example: Jazz composer Hank Levi refers to his composition "Time For A Change" as "Change for a dime."
