Amos, just because I Know Things Which You Don't Know is no reason that either you or I have to lower ourselves to explain to the ignorant. Ignorance is curable, and the best way is to make the ignorant Look It Up. As D. H. Lawrence once wrote,

"The last time I slept with the Queen,
She smiled as I whispered, "Ich dien."

I'm quite certain that you would know immediately that "Ich dien" is the motto of the Prince of Wales as well as meaning "I serve" and thus becomes a pun of two or more layers -- and still more if you include the phallic feathers. But neither your time nor mine should be spent explaining everything. Let the others have the joy of discovery and erudition just as we did.
