satin sweetie, we were but teasing. We are so used to digging up info on words (and just about anything else) that we simply cannot let a mystery go unsolved, tenacious bunch that we are. If curiosity really killed the cat then we would have very few animal owners in the lot and our animal name thread would be short indeed.

I have been proved wrong on one point. I thought your sibling was a girl because girls will often refer to their sisters (younger or older) as siblings and generally only to younger brothers as siblings. Don't know why, but this is what I have noticed.

We are really glad you have joined us. Remember it is all in fun...a few months ago we were all intrigued about RhubarbCommando.
