That's right! Well done pig!! After posting I decided I
was just being lazy by not looking myself. I stumbled
across this -
http://f2.org/humour/language/oddwords.html - and lost an
hour reading and chuckling to myself!

I will probably not get another thing done all afternoon,
but who cares!? I am now on a quest to find out where the
word derived from and if there is a link to the modern word
"cynic". From there who know what I will link to? I don't
often "surf" just for the fun of seeing where I end up, but
I am in the mood today.
