Thank you. Honestly has no idea. Funny word. Where on earth does it come from ? (Could go and google it, I suppose, but could have done that for the spelling too and it didn't happen smile)

It is, isn't it?  I'm rather fond of it, possibly for that very reason.  Our office OED says its origins are unknown,  but this fascinating article at least has a crack at tracing them. wink
