SCNR BTW the wikipedia article has me wondering when out of context missquoters will take exception:
Mammatus [...] is a [...] term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging [...]. The name [...] refers to a resemblance between the characteristic shape of these clouds and the breast of a woman. Made from Mammatus, also known as mammatocumulus (meaning "mammary cloud" or "breast cloud"),[1][2] is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. The name mammatus, derived from the Latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast"), refers to a resemblance between the characteristic shape of these clouds and the breast of a woman. 2011/6/19 Ecke PDML <overpenta...@googlemail.com>: > Mammatus?
