Oh, and skipy, I should have put a funny face with my comment. It was in fun, so I'm sorry if it came across as narky.
Well, one site says the word "cushy" was first used in writing in World War I, some sites say it is from the Hindi word Khush, meaning pleasant, or from a Persian word. Some sites say it comes from a shotening of the word "cushion", so now I'm even more confused.
