Easily confused since they have in common marriage to annoyingly pious patriarchs and a propensity for independent thinking, a particularly grave sin in a woman!
More than willing am I...to depart from a righteous path of grace for an independent and interesting life. I eschew the concept of 'sin' per se and guilt (catholic or with a capital C) and embrace, espouse authenticity.
Lawdy Miss Clawdy! So much to...chew on! LOLs as they say...
My small neighbour friend used to speak of toilet 'jobbies' when we were kids, puzzled me, can't recall what mum said about that noun or perhaps I didn't query it with her. I only recall 'poos' & 'wees' but I am fond still of No1s & No2s as handy euphemisms. A funny older girlfriend referred to No2s as 'neeeeer'umplops' with appropriate sound fx.
Related to fellatio there was that 80s joke about the Irish airline...still a goody.
I will commit 'off to irk' to memory...handy dandy.
Still don't really like 'that sucks' as a term...squeamish about it.
Some categorical imperatives, a certain amount of poetic licence exercised and some 'merirltorious'assumptions and a little(!) hyperbole in there not to mention claims to/ of historical accuracy which are not verifiable.
Here's a more convincing etymology for job. It comes from a Latin abbreviation for one piece of work, commonly used in medieval court documents and receipts. A job of work was a piece of labor, fungible and interchangeable with other currencies like silver or grain or sheep.
“Pillar of salt”? Are you mixing up Lot’s wife with Job’s?
That is a distinct possibility. How embarrassing!

Precisely! I've now edited the post to avoid further embarrassment.

Yes, 'jobbies' was the term my mother taught me. Is it perhaps a Northumbrian or Borderer usage?
Don't know. The friend I referred to had Welsh heritage.
That could fit, though my mother grew up in Northumberland, her paternal grandmother was from the Wye Valley.
