'Bint' is Arabic for daughter, and, while used as a derogatory term for
women in some places, it is commonly used in the naming of Arabian Horses.
Since many people use Arabic names for AB's I would imagine it would be
quite an acceptable term.
'Crumpet' is used here commonly as a derogatory term (derived from strumpet)
but we Aussies still enjoy our crumpets and honey for brekky without
sniggering.
cheers, Jan
I wonder if the Txu police will allow 'strumpet'?
