[Facts] Re: Veruca
in reply to a message by Jaime
In the book, Willy Wonka makes a rude comment about the name "veruca" sounding like the name of a wart, and I was one of those weird children who went straight to a dictionary and looked it up :-D. I'm amazed though that some people who read the book missed the comment and named their daughters that anyway! I'm so glad you asked someone.
