Points to Ponder

Cute Thread == Here is one to think of == Why do we call Male Cat Tom & female cat nothing &&& Why do we call female Dog a Bitch & a male dog nothing??

Actually, a female canine is a bitch and a male is a dog - in the world of show dogs, anyway.

I often heard male cats called Tom, and females called Tabby, regardless of their markings, or called Kitty.



Another to ponder:

Why are caucasians called white, when they range from pinkish to light brown with everything in between, and people of African descent called "black" when even the darkest-skinned ones are a dark brown, not black - and given all that, why aren't Hispanics, for example, called "tans"?
