Just wonderin' what in Sam's Hill "agony aunts" are? Is this something esoteric or just still another huge gap in my education?

Pronunciation: AGGG-uh-knee ants, unless you're using it in a poem and you want it to rhyme with taunts, haunts, daunts, etc. (Although wouldn't it be fun to write a poem in which you're thinking that agony aunts is agony ants, and you want the reader to read tants, hants, and dants. Now there's a creative nudge!)

Angel, good to see you again. I say "rooooooof," but lots of people here in Virginia say "ruff"; I think they's all pups, however.

Best regards,
