Thread Name: Dainty Davey: What's a curly pow?
Subject: RE: Dainty Davey: What's a curly pow?
I'm way out of my territory here, but am always interested in etymology. Where does 'dainty' come from, and does anyone know how it evolved from something that seems complimentary of dear Davey here, but not something you'd call him today?
