The official /lounge/ pudding club.

No registration required, you become a member just by posting here in the thread.

So, what does The Pudding Club do? We essentially chat over a pudding, discuss current events/club-related topics and scoff at non-members.

Today's pudding is tiramisu.

Interesting examples you got there. "Man" originally referred to "human" in Old English. The words for male humans were "wer" (preserved in "werewolf", similar to Latin "vir") and "guma" (preserved in "groom", similar to Latin "homo".) Both words fell out of use and were replaced with "human" from French. The word for a female human was "wif" (preserved in "wife") or "cwen" (preserved in "queen", similar to Greek "gyne".) Wifman became the analogical female equivalent to "human" (which referred to men), and over the years, became "woman."

Male comes from the French "mâle", from Latin "masculus", a derivative of "mas" (the former meaning "little male", the latter meaning simply "male.") Female comes from the Latin "femella", a derivative of "femina". Interesting etymology note: the roots in "femina", "fetus", and "filius" all are related to the verb "fello" (to suck.) Female and male actually have nothing in common, but the English spell them similarly because they assumed there was a relationship between the two words.

I, like redcream, too oft admit my rolls.
