You guys always make it hard. In the end I chose Giovanni because her definition is still funny and fitting when you know the true definition of cicisbeo:
Giovanni �s definition:
Cicibeo is what you call someone who is on the verge of becoming a sissy.
Wikipedia �s definition:
In 18th- and 19th-century Italy, the cicisbeo (pronounced as CHEE-CHEE-SBEHAW; plural: cicisbei,CHEE-CHEE-SBAY),...was the professed gallant and lover of a married woman, who attended her at public entertainments, to church and other occasions and had privileged access to his mistress.
Good luck with selecting the next word Giovanni and thanks for participating everybody.
