Subject: Re: [h-cost] Need a term...
I've never heard of pansied slops. I wonder where the name came from.
Aha--another online reference says it came from Winter and Savoy's book,
which is almost completely untrustworthy. I would treat this term with
skepticism until a 16th-century reference can be found--does anyone have
one?
Just curious,
Melanie
to me it looks like a typo for pained slops, where the typo first turned up
would be interesting to track down.
