Some pompous idiot - the sort who liked to use 'inter alia', 'germane to the issue', 'deep blue water' etc, once wrote that 'Bloggs is one of nature's bachelors' thinking that it meant 'Bloggs is a boozing, babe-chasing mate who has studiously avoided the marital ball-and-chain'.
Unfortunately, being only half-literate, what he didn't know was that the description was, in fact, a Victorian euphemism for 'Bloggs is a poof'!!!
