Help[Facts] Re: Meaning/Origin of "Wowa"
in reply to a message by Satu
Wow indeed!
I once read about the many sons of King George III, one of whom was in the royal Navy and while serving in the South Seas had a scandalous and long-standing affair with a local lady improbably named Wowski. Could the Russian navy have got there first? (I always fancied Wowski as a name for a cat, preferably a Russian Blue.)
