Double take
I had to share this, because I wonder if anyone else will have the same mental picture I had.
Word of the Day from http://www.askoxford.com
batwoman
• noun (pl. batwomen) a female attendant or cleaner serving an officer in the British services.
— origin Second World War: from bat (see batman) + woman.
Source: Oxford Dictionary of English
http://www.oup.co.uk/isbn/0-19-861057-2
I knew about batmen, of course, but this?
My mental response was to wonder...
... What kind of an army would it be if the bat-men and -women had black wings and twitchy ears? If they were literally, physically, bat men and women? What kind of society would that be?
I really need to finish a novel one of these days so that I can write another one. :-)
