     Well, your local English major is incorrect.  Horny
literally means having little horns coming out of your head,
meaning to imply that you resemble a satyr.

	satyr n. 1. Greek Myth. any of a class of minor
	woodland deities, attendant on Bacchus, usually
	represented as having pointed ears, short horns,
	the head and body of a man, and the legs of a goat,
	and as being fond of riotous merriment and lechery.
