Thanks, Douglas, it �s thanks to my daughter who had just been through her brother �s old toys and picture books and decided Dipsy �s antenna is just so yummy for her still-only-pressing teeth, so it was a stroke of luck that we had this word in the forum.

Sorry I �ve been out of town on dipsomania; I actually knew what it was.

 

Okay, here �s my take on "nurseryman": a nurseryman is a male patient who propositions all of his female nurses.

I �m just lucky I wasn �t a nurse, so the lecher in the other room left me alone!
