Pretty sure most people don't read this like I just read this. I was like, "BIGOT CHICKEN? BIGOT as in BIGOD as in ETHNICITY-DENOTING SURNAME FOR PEOPLE OF NORSE/NORMAN DESCENT IN MEDIEVAL NORMANDY AND ITS NEIGHBOURING REGIONS? YAY! ... wait..."
Yeah, I'm spending the weekend at a medieval history conference, all right.
I certainly had a good giggle when I realized what my first instinct was when I saw this entry, so I'm glad to share it around!
... but really, at some point in my dissertation I mentioned someone with the last name Bigotus/Bigod, and one of the members of my committee commented that it could be an ethnic surname. I guess that's at the top of my mind right now because he's at this conference!

I am laughing too hard to breathe right. I certainly hope that was your intent.
