Black belt caterpillar wrestler Is 'black as any moor' acceptable? (89* d) RE: Is 'black as any moor' acceptable? 06 Mar 25

I believe that the original intention was to imply that he was "constant and true as the day" because he looked "black as any moor". This would fit with the views of the time.

I can't see any minor change to the words that would convey the same message.
