 he's seen that one celeb or another had been 'papped' the other day (for 
 whatever reason). I asked: 'Papped'???? 'Yeah, you know, staked out by 
 photographers'. Ahhh, 'papped' I thought. Short for 'Paparazzi'd'. He was 
 using it as a verb! He could (and obviously would) 'pap' me! I could 
 'pap' someone. It's actually descended through the jargon hierarchy, and 
 plopped out of the bottom as a verb. Don't you love it? Now I hear it all 
 the time. Papped! Have you been papped recently? >>

Steve. For a short while, that was my gig. I was a "pap". Sneaking thru hotel 
kitchens, etc. Best shot? Prince Charles scratching his ***. In Paris Match 
about 15 yrs ago...............

Kind regards from sunny Brighton
