OP Dear tsuwm: I am shedding great big tears that you should suggest I might be guilty
of trickery.I can get out of this easiery than I thought. My dictionary does not
have "pudicity" , but, oh happy day, it does have "impudicity"
impudicity
n.
5Fr impudicit= < LL *impudicitas, for L impudicitia < impudicus < in3, not + pudicus, modest6 immodesty; shamelessness
So "pudicity" means modesty
Sam Johnson's quote said the elephants would not have sex while humans were watching.
It also said something that surprised me. The female lies on her back when receptive.
The missionaries got to them, and encouraged their "pudicity".
