Ah, tsuwm, that was such a cute tale. I'll always remember:
Poofter! Bloody poofter!
I don't even know what a bloody poofter is, but it sounds like such a lovely bit of whimsy and fun!
Now, did barbers do medicine at one time?
And I've completely forgotten McTeague... He was a dentist? Wasn't he? Didn't he do some kind of surgery? Or maybe he was a barber. Was that why barbers' poles had red on 'em? Because of the blood?
Everything's becoming so mixed up in my brain. But I do like the sound of poofter.
Barber regards,

I think Sweeney Todd is funnier.
Dear WW: A man wanted a boy, his wife wanted a girl. They were both happy. Their offspring was a poofter. Meaning he had a marked problem with sexual identification.

One can always look up stuff, even bloody poofters.

Sometimes I'm driven to look up stuff.
Sometimes it's more fun to see how things unfold here in our little AWAD garden.
Sometimes books and websites call.
Sometimes the fun of hearing what's in others' minds calls.
I think one of the best things that happens here is when people take their time to look things up for posters who are in the dark. Acts of kindness--and generosity.
But I will look up poofters today to read what's there in some dictionary??? Thanks, Bill--I got it (truthfully) from the context in the skit tsuwm linked us to, by the way--but it was the sound of the word that struck my whimsy. Men strutting about in poofed-up skirts--very high heels--great wigs--false eyelashes. Some of 'em do it by far better than I ever could!
Best regards,
WW

Didn't the Barber of Seville kill his patients or something? Or am I thinking of another musical work?
