SUV's Christ-Message of Hope and Joy

[SUV]

"Lord love a duck"

When are these false "Christians" going to stop saying this? What could the Good Lord™ possibly love about a be-feathered, quacking, obscenely waddling duck?

I, for one, am at the limits of my Patience over this.

The 16th century French writer François Rabelais in his series of novels Gargantua and Pantagruel, discussing the various ways of cleansing oneself at the toilet, wrote that: "He who uses paper on his filthy bum, will always find his ballocks lined with scum", proposing that the soft feathers on the back of a live goose provide an optimum cleansing medium.

There is nothing remotely loveable about a duck, save when served with orange sauce. I have looked into the archives at Landover and in the Idioms and Neologisms section I found the following reference:

In the year of Our Lord 1734 (123 after KJV) one, Abelard Moncrieff of Landover, had just stopped chastising a slave as he has forgotten the reason he started. His wife emerged from the house and, noticing that with his exertions, her husband’s pantaloons were about his ankles, called to him, “’Lard! Cover up!”

The phrase then entered the language through the untutored ear of the uneducated slave and became common parlance as an expression for anything that was unusual or startled or exasperated the public and, over the years, became corrupted to “Lord! Love a duck!”

I too feel that time should be called on Brother Abelard’s embarrassment, which followed him to the grave and beyond,

I agree. In this joyous season, let us put Brother Abelard behind us.
