So I suspect your folk etymology is a bit heavy on the folk :-)

It's a fair cop. I was patently making it up as I went along.

Anyway - the net conclusion seems to be that I'm not weird, or in this case northern, I'm just antique :)

(I love the way local libraries give free online access to the OED; it's a fantastic timewaster...)

They do who with the what now? I'm a member of my local library (they've never mentioned it). Where do I sign up?
