  Now that's tongue-in-cheek!  Do you perchance mean those "ladies"
whose stature, if it be called that, bends the castors on the lounge?

  (Castor = wheel on a pivoting mechanism to permit movement in any
direction.  Also a process to make, and therefore a variety of sugar,
which is a pun on the cookies and tarts.)
