Did you ever have to call go outside and call out "KIIIIINKY!" at the top of your lungs when trying to find her?
Wooda like ta see that . . .
Ah, no, they were indoor kitties so I never had to yell outside for Kinky.
I had a coworker whose British neighbor would go outside and yell for “Pussy”, thereby irritating my coworker no end. And yes, the British guy was fully aware of the American connotation of that word.
