is a peccadillo a cross between a wild pig and an armadillo?

I have sinned: peccavi; a British commander in India, having invaded and captured Sindh, sent this one-word message to headquarters: Peccavi. Maybe somebody out there can look this up to make sure it is not apocryphal. If true, it is a marvelous pun, and even if it's not true, it's still pretty good.

Groooooooan. Seems like there is no escaping them. But then "the louder they groan the better they like them" ... Puns, that is, you naughty-minded ones!
