Somehow this reminds me of a party I was at.=20 A woman was sorta pouting about a perceived insult from a gent. Having gott= en to know both folks a little bit through drinking and singing etc I was s= uspicious of a misunderstanding so I inquired. The woman (not particularly = scholarly in aspect) said that the gent had called her Broomhilda (a short,= fat, ugly, warty comic book witch) Having conversed a bit with the gent th= rough the evening, I was pretty sure that he was way to scholarly to have e= ver even HEARD of Broomhilda. As I suspected, he had compared her to Brunhi= lda - a Valkyrie, of Norse Mythology, practically a Goddess.
