sorry to revive it again but it has been asked what dainty might mean.. when my mother took out her giant dictonary( i think from around 1800s) dainty meant dear and sweet. althouggh i had never before this thread realised the naughtier connotations, that is what i would like to hold true. i think i like the love song version bettter, splashin' gravy sounds rather nasty to me.
