Re: Dora
in reply to a message by Perrine
I can't break the "Dumb Dora" association or the association with Dora in "David Copperfield" who was, in fact, dumb.
Note: I know the phrase "Dumb Dora was so dumb..." from the game show "Match Game", which I watched in the 1970s, because I'm a fossil. Just now I decided to look into whether or not "Match Game" was using a phrase which was at one time well-known, which seemed likely, and found that this was the case:

Seems pretty sexist. But I learned something today.
Mona is not as bad as Dora.
