Quiz Show
Last night I was listening to the radio on my way to rescue my (business) partner who had locked herself out of the office and I heard a few seconds of a quiz show, I think it was "information please" on WAMU's The Big Broadcast which is at
http://www.wamu.org/programs/bb/ (click and paste, I so don't know how to hyperlink)
and the show was the July 30, 2006 show. The question was,
"Why would a Gentleman break a date with a melanochroic woman?"
The answer was, because she was dark skinned.
What?
Granted, the show was from June 7, 1938, but I was still taken aback. Even though they said "gentleman prefer blondes" was the reason, I am still surprised to hear things like this (unless it's in a Quentin Tarantino movie).
From a random dictionary site on the web:
Mel`a`no`chro´ic
a. 1. Having a dark complexion; of or pertaining to the Melanochroi.
