One question....
What event led the parents of the word's inventor to name him Thomas Love Peacock?
It hints at bestiality in the family, doesn't it?

ETA: From the Wiki article about Peacock:

Peacock was born in Weymouth, Dorset, the son of Samuel Peacock and his wife Sarah Love, daughter of Thomas Love, a retired master of a man-of-war in the Royal Navy.[1] His father was a glass merchant in London, partner of a Mr Pellatt, presumed to be Apsley Pellatt (1763–1826).[2] Peacock went with his mother to live with her family at Chertsey in 1791 and in 1792 went to a school run by Joseph Harris Wicks at Englefield Green where he stayed for six and a half years.

Seems about accurate tbh
Well, we do elect leaders primarily based upon their ability to campaign.

Reminds me of a true story I just made up....
Karen McDougal was talking about her love life.
"I left my first husband after 3 years because he was a farmer, & worked so much he had no time for me."
"I left my 2nd husband after 2 years because he finished too quickly."
"I left Donald Trump after 1 night because he spent the entire time telling me how great it was going to be."
