I am pleased to share with onvoyeurs the following delightful entry I stumbled across in the Oxford Universal Dictionary (3rd Ed. 1933, revised 1955, ex libris Grand-Amadan):
| Quote | | bumbailiff (1603): A bailiff of the meanest kind; one that is employed in arrests. |
I can see a future for the term if some of the US theocrats have their way.

JoeG BTW dumbass- some variations help ensure reproductive fitness so they cannot be random wrt it.
